I do all the back end programming and database work for the projects that require dynamic features, such as shopping carts and membership databases and things like that. Basically, the rest of the team makes it all look pretty, and I make it work.
Growing up, I was always interested in computers as a hobby. My real passion (or so I thought) was animals. I wanted to be a veterinarian for as long as I can remember. I worked at an animal hospital all through high school and college. At the time, I didn't really consider a career in computers as a "real" profession. It was always a hobby and it wasn't until I left college when I realized it would be a good career move. Once I started getting paid for doing what I love (working with computers), I've never thought about becoming a veterinarian again.
My favorite types of projects are the internal web applications. It fascinates me how many businesses are running their operations using Microsoft Excel or Access. I love taking someone's Excel or Access based business and translating it into a powerful, web-based, data driven application.
My wife and I have 2 children, both boys and extremely active. After a long hard day at work, I come home and get tackled by them while being forced to pretend I'm Doc Ock while they both assume the role of Spiderman. This is what its all about. I'm also extremely interested in movies. One day I hope to own a movie theater and make millions!
