My mom passed away on May 30th 2009. Her family misses her very much. Here is a link.
I've done a lot of things during my life and have lived a pretty full one! I was a paper boy for the Seattle Post Intelligencer at eight years old. I helped my parents decide to purchase a Post-Intelligencer dealership for West Bremerton where we lived and worked 12 hours a day seven days a week from when I was nine until I was seventeen helping them run it. During that time I studied Butoku-kan Karate and learned most of what made me who I am. The discipline never leaves you. I will always be very grateful for knowing Sensei Robert Hill (I know you are Soke now, but you will always be my Sensei), Chris Olsen and all the other guys who taught me that just because I was smaller than most kids didn't mean I couldn't hit harder and move faster than they could. You and my sister taught me that I can do anything.
I've made snow skis for a living at the K2 facility on Vashon Island near Seattle, been a radio d.j. and news reporter, a bounty hunter, woodworker, a skipper on the Jungle Cruise in Disneyland, an actor/singer and of late an I-series computer programmer. I also do web design and dabble in fantasy photography.
The menu to the left contains links to some of the websites I designed and/or maintain. The blue menu bar up above contains links to some of my current projects. Please have a look! If the websites show a placeholder page, it is because I am waiting on the client to provide hosting or something.
If you'd like a complex website or a simple web page, please let me know. I am always eager to take on new projects.
For the past 10 years or so I've been happily married(The wedding web page is Joley's first attempt at html. She did pretty well!) to a beautiful woman I met while participating in one of my favorite hobbies, swordfighting.
~Yes, I am a knight in shining armor. The image in the upper left hand corner of this site is my heraldic achievement. I've been an armored combatant in a "Live-Steel" organization called "The Adrian Empire" for the past twelve years and hold the rank of "Knight Champion" among others, being the fifth person in the history of the organization to achieve its highest rank. I am honored to hold the distinction of being the first (only?) person to achieve Knight Champion in the shortest possible length of time. I'm kinda proud of that.
Once again, thank you Sensei.
The coolest things that have ever happened to me must be the birth of my kids. I helped deliver Tim when he was born and when Gia came into the world, a midwife and I caught her in mid-air! -the doctor never made it into the delivery room!
The most terrifying thing that has ever happened to me was the birth of my youngest daughter Jocelyn Suzanne. She was breech and the chord was coiled twice and knotted around her neck. Her delivery was an emergency c-section which nearly took my wife away from me. It was scary.
Tim and I like to play with radio controlled monster trucks. His favorite truck is "Maximum Destruction". Mine is Gravedigger. I once knew the driver/owner Dennis Anderson and helped him with his little r.c. Gravediggers while he was here on the west coast racing. It was fun and something I can pass on to my little boy. Gia seems to have a healers touch and wants to be a doctor. After being a princess of course... We still don't know about Suzy. She doesn't talk much yet.
Please have a look at my I.T. resume' and if you have any use for a Sr. AS400 programmer/analyst who can do web development or pretty much anything else you need too, please contact me.
My resume' is in Adobe's .pdf format. If you do not already have the Adobe Acrobat Reader you can get it here
