I currently live in New England (since 1987) though I've spent the majority of my youth throughout the Midwest. Along the way I've worked in a variety of high tech related businesses in a variety of functions. I've changed careers at least 3 times and contemplating making yet another jump.
My recent reading activity has dramatically increased with the advent of e-Readers and e-Reader software on my phone and iPad. It gives me the abiliy to take a book anywhere without the bulk of a physical book.
I have had numerous hobbies over the years which include writing. I've published a Fantasy novel on Amazon and have the outlines of several more books that I'm currently working on in a variety of genres. The published book, Achemy, Sorcery, & Magic: A New Age Begins, is the first of a projected 4 volume Fantasy set. The other outlines span Mystery, Science Fiction, Autobiographical, and a Mathematical concept white paper on calculating a predicted first pass yield for establishing production baselines.
So many hobbies/projects, so little time! :)

“Reading is an addiction, much like living and breathing is an addiction.”
“Books because are the vehicle that takes my mind to places and times my body can't go.”

“I've been called a smart ass many times and given the same response "I'd rather be known as a smart ass than a dumb ass”
“My favorite place on earth is with my family.”
“I wish I were half as smart as I think I am.”
“Tis far far better for people to assume you're stupid because it's fun to prove them wrong.”
“Don't take life too seriously, there will always be plenty of people around you to do it in your stead.”
“If life is like a box of chocolates why do I always seem to grab the icky jelly filled ones?! :)”
