Even though I started as a music major on a scholarship, I graduated as a computer scientist from SUNY Utica Tech in New York. This brought me ten years at the Naval Air Warfare Center - Aircraft Division (NAWC-AD) at Patuxent River, Maryland where I received an A+ from the Pentagon working as a Civil Servant. As a software engineer, I programmed in C, C++ and assembly. At the time, the military base was hot and so was my projects, WDPS and Chaff.

On the side, I started a business, Easy Software Products with a partner, selling in-house software for UNIX/Linux and Apple machines. I then quit my job at NAWC-AD in 2001 to pursue the business.

In 2001, I wrote the printing chapter for the book, "Unix Unleashed - fourth edition", published by Sam's Publishing. My name is not on the cover but at least it's mentioned inside. Book information can be found on Amazon.

I sold my half of the Easy Software Products business this year and traded in the stock market fully. I really started trading in year 2000 but was a light weight. I trade by chart and write scripts for buy and sell signals.

In 2005, I became a small part owner of a restaurant chain called Molly Brannigans.

I also volunteer in the local area. I have been a Big Brother of the Big Brothers/Big Sisters organization. I've taught folks basic computer skills at the Lexington Park library. I volunteered for the Calvert County Literacy Council where I maintained their website.
