About Me

My photo
Grant, Florida, United States
I have been in the technology industry for almost 10 years always jumping at the opportunity to learn something new. I founded the Space Coast SQL Users Group to keep me from getting obsolete. When I am not in “Tech-Mode” I love spending time with my family golfing, bowling, boating, fishing, scuba diving, motorcycling and whatever else we come up with.
