I`ve had a wonderful life! I`ve ridden the Internet Express my entire career and met a lot of wonderful people and been to incredible places along the way. I`ve been bestowed the rank of Software Ninjaneer and have enjoyed director-level positions and the people I`ve worked with. Lately I find myself completely content in rural Utah feeding my pigs and chickens (the real ones - not the scrum ones) I earned the nickname codenheimer at my first `real` job at PacBell in San Ramon, CA. It stuck one day and I`ve identified with it ever since. I think it encompasses the seriously passionate approach I`ve taken in all my duties and responsibilities. I`m a little on the OCD side (excuse me: CDO). I`m a Lego Maniac and a datafreakazoid. I LOVE DATA! No - not the Star Trek Guy (although I am a casual Trekkie and yeah - that Data was cool too) I can whip up a pretty wicked database including USEFUL documentation and buckle it to frameworks including one I developed by my onesie that I affectionately refer to as Perficio - that`s Latin for: to perfect, accomplish or bring about. I`m a code junkie and know a few systems and languages including Win Server, Linux, MySQL, Oracle, PHP, ColdFusion, Java, Javascript, Dutch (oh wait - that`s not a programming language but I do know it pretty well - I lived in Nederland for a while - The girls were pretty and the cheese was tasty) I recently invented a new style of beehive called a bee barrel and am pretty excited about going worldwide with that venture. Check it out at . Yeah - I`m kind of proud of it. Did I mention I`ve had a wonderful life? My favorite quote is: `A good leader knows where he`s going and takes his people with him.` and my career motto is `balance the difference between doing IT right and doing IT right now.` I thank Thomas Birdsall and Mike Colborn for giving me a chance to let my career find me. And boy did it find me! It`s been an incredible ride! I`ve had a wonderful life!
