Graduate of Carroll University with a degree in computer science. Currently employed with a heavy equipment company doing IT support, upgrades, and other various technology related projects. In addition to all this computer stuff, I am also a former hockey and baseball player, I dabble with my electric guitar, happen to be a classically trained violist, home theater enthusist, love Crown Royal, and have an unhealthy obsession with video games.
If anyone is to be blamed for the debachle that is “Uncompressed” I suppose its me. Being huge fan of TWiT, Security Now, and Diggnation, I decided that I really wanted to produce a podcast of my own. After reading about how (relatively) easy it is to get one of these things going, I wrote a letter to Thom explaining my idea and asked him to join me in this little venture. The rest is history…

I’m always working on a thousand stupid projects. Emphasis on stupid.When I have time, I love playing video games and own a few actual arcade machines, which are all sadly in storage until we finish our basement. If you need any web application programming or design work done, please let me know — I need money to throw into the “finish the basement” fund. lol

I currently reside in sunny Lindenhurst, NY with my beautiful wife Michelle. I work for a company in Woodbury, NY where I hold a position as an E-Marketing/ Website Architect. I am responsible for the day to day operations of several websites and e-marketing programs. I have been working with websites since 2000 and I learn something new everyday and that keeps me going strong. I really enjoy working with websites and I consider myself very lucky to find a job that I have fun doing.I am a proud video gamer and I enjoy all things geek. I love to buy shiny gadgets and play with them until I get bored and buy more shiny objects that do even cooler things.
My true love has always been music, I love to play the guitar and bass guitar and I dabble with other instruments including drums and keyboards. I also like to play with DJ Software and create my own beats. I am always looking for a jam and I spend a lot of time recording my own riffs and hooks. I am working on a website that contains my latest jams and that should be done sometime soon. Check ya later!
