I am just a fun loving family guy that enjoys getting no sunlight and 'coding through the night'. The stereotypical geek in a closet with big ideas.

Starting out as a developer I began life as a C# enthusiast. Coding everything under the sun in C# and loved every minute of it. Now days I have refocused on mobile development and have found my place in the realm of Java development for the Android platform. I never consider myself an expert because it would give me nothing to look forward to learning if I reach the pinnacle of knowledge like some think they have.
