If there’s something not listed, it merely indicates its not on my primary radar right now. I also may not have thought to add it to the list…The easiest way to describe the professional me is that nothing excites me like a productive team producing exceptional quality software. Hey, I did say the professional me…Since March of 2008, my days are spent building bleeding edge, equity analysis tools as VP of Technology at Ockham Research, LLC.  Our primary website, Ockhamresearch.com, is the showcase for a suite of investment analysis products that we’ve developed for the professional and individual investor.  I was employed through 2007 as VP of Technology for PerfectWeddingGuide.com where I lead the development of our consumer-facing and business-enabling solutions.  My prior position as Development Manager for Rentals.com with Consumer Source / Primedia was a fantastic engagement that I continue to cherish.The personal me resides in Atlanta with my gorgeous wife and son. We frequent the highlands and midtown regularly to enjoy parks and restaurant.   We love to go boating at Oconee on the weekends. I also play guitar, sing, practice yoga and make a mean Margarita. However, I will not play Margaritaville.
