I am 54 years old, married to Missy, and we have 3 adult daughters, one good dog, one bad dog, and an aging cat that refuses to go towards the light. We live on the beach in Oak Island, NC where, in addition to being a local police officer and a member of the Oak Island Water Rescue Team, I have been a professional software engineer for over 30 years.

I have many hobbies including classic cars, motorcycles, fishing and kayaking, jogging, and eating at BBQ House. I have recently retired from a life-long love of experimental aircraft and flying (due to costs), and am currently restoring my 1965 Ford Mustang Coupe with an inline 6 cylinder engine and C4 transmission. The only thing left from my aviation background is a private pilots license with instrument rating, commercial drone license, and memories of the 80s when an average person could actually afford to fly!

In other words, I am a fairly non-traditional geek. I hide the nerd under kevlar body armor, an extroverted personality, and enough stale testosterone to get me into old age. I don't care much for social media, but you can find me on Facebook or once or twice a year on LinkedIn. I'm old school, so if you really want to reach me, please do so by email using my first and last name @gmail.
