About Me
I’m a 33 year old Network Engineer residing in Portland, Oregon. I enjoy all things “northwesty” including the obvious rain and clouds in addition to the typical coffee addictive personality so abundant up here. Aside from being a CSS and xhtml design fanatic I also am currently an MCSE as well as MCSA and divide my computing attentions between Windows & Mac OS X based systems. Equally at home with Photoshop or rooting about in the schema of an Exchange server I tend to find my attentions drawn more to the artistic endeavors lately. In addition to a focus on art, I’m also bettering myself while figuring out to resolve mistakes from the past in a fair and balanced matter (really fair and balanced though, nothing like Fox News lol).
I’m also a huge fan of Drum & Bugle corps and spend as much time as possible helping out the Seattle Cascades youth organization in any way I can (I even drove for them in 2004 and 2005).
I’m currently dating engaged married to the most wonderful woman in the world, who shares my love for art and nature and enjoying that wacky thing called life. Most days I can be found with some type of caffiene in my hand and a fairly happy expression. Things aren’t always perfect but for the most part they are as best as they can be.

Favorite Poem of the moment
But to see her was to love her,
Love but her, and love forever.
Had we never lov’d sae kindly,
Had we never lov’d sae blindly,
Never met–or never parted–
We had ne’er been brokenhearted.
For Nature made her what she is,
And never made another.
Robert Burns, from Ae Fond Kiss
