I am a software engineer/data analyst. After many years in the LA area I relocated to Bellevue, Washington in 2006 to work for Microsoft. I live with Heather, our daughters Noelle and Lily and two cats (Skye and William).
We live in a house we purchased in the Bridle Trails area of Bellevue, Washington. We did a major remodel of the basement and kitchen/dining areas from Sept 2017 to May 2018 (we lived in a rental house 2 houses away during the process).
You can read my out of date Resume if you are bored. If I were looking for another job - it would have to be in the Seattle area (and preferably on the Eastside as well :)
Here's a link to my old thoughts on Software Engineering . It also includes code showing my coding and commenting style and a list of the software engineering books on my shelves.
You can read more about me if you want. (It is pretty much a resume supplement - and probably out of date...)

I have a large board game collection
I have added a link to the quilts my kids have received from their grandmother.
I normally listen to KEXP and KNHC. I also still listen to KCRW listen even though we have been in Seattle for 20 years now.
I read a fair amount (as you can see by looking at the GoodReads links below). Besides books I also read the weekly magazines The Economist and Christian Science Monitor and a few monthly ones (Atlantic, Smithsonian) as well. I have also subscribed to the NYTimes and Washington Post digital editions.
