Collaboration Gets Things Done


  • Think big enough, and get it done - but it's still about doing.
  • When all else fails, do it yourself, or don't - it's your call.

  • Work smarter, not harder! It's always darkest before it goes pitch black.

  • Books:
  • New sci-fi book project...set in the future, a murder mystery solved with AI avatars.
  • Transforming the Modern World: Computing Technology from 1950 to Today is available at Amazon Kindle.

Like many places, North Carolina is a sweet state of mind.

Husband, father, and grandfather! Spent most of my life as a software engineer...now I spend my days figuring out things I never had time for when I was working. I like creating software (currently: Python, JavaScript, DuckDB, LLMs): frameworks, data analyzers. Taught technology courses at The Johns Hopkins University for over 20 years, would like to teach again. Wrote a couple of books, some magazine articles, and blogging, finally writing my novel. USAF Veteran and proud of it.

Book: Transforming the Modern World: Computing Technology from 1950 to Today

My favorite class in college was "The History of Computing". I really enjoyed the narrative of how things came to be. So I wrote a book about it. I've explored different technologies from programming languages through the Internet to quantum computing. Also covered some history focusing on technology and how we deal with information in 1950 v. 2025. It's available on Amazon via Kindle.
