I am...

In my mid 20's, married, and have two children.

I am employed by Denney Electric Supply, where I am the primary purchasing agent. I've also worked for Target, A Beka Book, and Penndel Hardware.

As a hobby I develop computer software. Many of my programs are never released, but a few have been released publically. I spend a lot of time working in Forth, specifically my Retro and Toka implementations. I am also a member of the Little Smalltalk development team, and am working to update each release to work on modern platforms.

My most popular projects are Ent and Paki.

Ent is a hosted tool providing access to a wide variety of information and small tools via email.

Paki is a hosted Twitter client, providing the core Twitter functionality via email.

Both are intended for use with the Peek, but are quite usable with BlackBerries, SideKicks, and other mobile email platforms.
