This is the post where I attempt to convince you of the value of reading my blog. Well, that value should reveal itself in the content.
It may be of interest to know from what experiences my opinions and interests have grown. I have been programming computers since the age of 13. I purchased a TRS-80 Color Computer 
after delivering flyers house to house over the summer. In hindsight, this summer experience was the genesis of two great passions in my life: the craft of software and the craft of commerce.
Since that first computer and part-time job, I have gone on to work as an oceanographic researcher, writer, futures/options trader, programmer, consultant, and business owner.
I'm an advocate of agile practices, particularly both test-driven development and short, iterative feedback loops. I work as an agile coach, developer, trainer, and project manager and am currently the President of Obtiva Corporation and the Vice President of CJUG-West.
