It seems I'm not able to keep this blog current, so away goes the outdated content and I'll leave you with this.

I am a Software Engineer for the Seattle based consulting company Avanade. My current project has me working from my West Seattle home helping my East Coast based client take ownership of the day-to-day application maintenance activities of an ADFS and ASP.NET based identity management implementation. While this can make for some early mornings, I enjoy being able to stay home with my two boxers and the mandatory dress code of moccasins, well worn jeans, and hoodies. So far it has been a great experience in managing a project remotely.

My technical interests include Microsoft .NET, web application development, and web focused security topics. I've been accused of being a certification whore as I hold various certifications for various entities as you can see from my resume, but I do find them to be a good tool to ensure my constant self education is on track. Beyond certifications, I am currently pursuing a Masters in Computer Science from Colorado State University, which I hope to complete December of 2011.

Away from work and education I have found my life calling in chasing gravity. Whenever time and money allow I can be found chasing fresh stashes of powder in the many ski resorts of the Cascades or on my mountain bike exploring the many miles of single track found in the Seattle area. While at home I attempt to keep my veggie garden and lawn in a respectable state and college friends in check on whatever the video game of time is.

Feel free to reach out to me for pretty much any reason. Contact information, LinkedIn, and Twitter profiles can be found on the links to the right.
