By trade I am a computer geek. I spent many years programming everything from Cobol to Java and in every spectrum of the industry from writing software to working with clients. My most memorable job was working with a company that designed systems for international airlines, and my greatest challenge was moving deftly between meetings with a Japanese airline to an Israeli one. I learned to bow in Tokyo and shout across a smoke filled office in Tel Aviv.

Currently I work free lance designing and implementing websites and have decided to return to my creative roots. I have always read, written and painted and I studied architecture in college. Writing, for me, is a way to combine all aspects of imagination. I typically have a bookmark in at least five books, jockey space on the iPod for music and podcasts and have too many movies in my Netflix queue. See below for what's currently distracting me from writing.
