Hi, Thank you for reading my bio. I started in IT as a Novell Netware administrator in 1996 when I was 17 and I`ve worked in a large variety of roles in IT since then. Most recently (last five years) I`ve been mainly working with databases to include roles as both developer and system administrator; I have a strong database background. Recently, in the last 8 months, I`ve gotten into C#/.NET development and am continuing to improve my skills using that language. I`m at the half-way point in the software engineering graduate program at the University of West Florida. My anticipated graduation date is spring 2016. I currently have a 3.94 master`s level cumulative GPA. The things I enjoy doing when not working on paid or school work (which is most often the case) include: driving my car with the top down and music blasting, weight lifting, travel, live theater, comedy, music, cooking, craft cocktails, photography, and fine dining. I have a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, have participated in full-contact competition, and was an individual medalist in the master`s light-weight division in 2013 when I was a member of team Alliance. ©
