I'm a professional software engineer from New Orleans, LA. In October 2005 I moved to New York City, where I helped create Squidoo. Presently I live with my girlfriend Cristal in sunny Boulder, CO, at the foothills of the Rockies and a burgeoning tech scene.

When not serving valliantly as Squidoo's Chief Engineer, I'm working on projects like Hirefly, a new tool that builds on the concept of email as a way to manage job openings. Notable past projects include human resources software for hospitals and a communications network for a fleet of tugboats.

I'm passionate about and contribute to open source projects like MySQL, Maatkit, and Tarzan. I spend a great deal of time exploring cloud computing and recently gave a talk about AWS.

In my free time you can find me weightlifting, training in kung fu, jumping out of planes, boarding down mountains, climbing back up them, traveling to far and distant lands, and last but not least: writing short, witty bios.
