What's New You Ask?

It's been awhile, but I've updated photos up to Halloween 2007. I now have over 1700 photos uploaded and I've re-tagged (labeled) all of the photos to be more specific for easier searching. We're approaching Christmas 2007 (Arianna's first Christmas) and have lots more photos to upload. I'll be revising the site to work with .NET 3.5 and ASP.NET Ajax shortly. There will be a beta period sometime in February 2008 or sooner. The problem is too many projects and tasks with not enough time.

Welcome to My Web Site!

While visiting, be sure to check out the various areas. My blog sections continually update from my various blogs and someday this will be replaced by my own blog roller. Just recently I've added my ASPInsiders blog to the blog list. My article sections also update as new articles are written. I have included some of my favorite links and even a photo album.

My BIO

In 1999, I graduated from a high school in Susquehanna County (PA) called Elk Lake High School. I previously attended the Wyalusing Area School District, but a 10 mile move "down river" 4 years earlier forced the switch. After a short break, I began school at Penn State University in Lehman, PA.

Two and half short years later, I had my first degree and decided that since I was working over 40 hours a week and using this new Microsoft technology called .NET that at the time wasn't even heard of in the college, it was time for me to move on. I began writing articles for an online repository called ASPAlliance.com and participating in the original ASP.NET forums on ASP.net. I soon met some real cool people and became more and more interested in the technology.

2003 was a very exciting time for me because I became an ASPInsider and a Microsoft MVP. I also started up Northeastern Pennsylvania's only user group called .NET Valley.

My friends said it would never happen. I had doubts too. But, in 2004, I took the *big jump* and married. We went on an awesome honeymoon to Jamaica and Florida. In August 2005, we moved into our first house in which we had built. On April 20, 2007, we welcomed Arianna, our first child, into the world.
