I graduated from Cal Poly Pomona University in the fall of 1993 as a Computer Science major. I've worked for various companies since then. Currently, I'm a Senior Technical Account Manager for Premio, Inc.

On June 12, 1996 I married my lovely and beautiful wife, , who is also a 1993 graduate of Cal Poly Pomona with a degree in Computer Science. A coincidence? Or some strange cosmic fate? You decide!

I tend to read a lot, and some of my favorite authors and novels are (in no particular order):

H.P. Lovecraft, Clive Barker, Stephen King, Dean Koontz
Tom Clancy, Michael Critchon
Jonathan Kellerman, author of the Alex Delaware novels
Robert Jordan (trying to catch up on his Wheel of Time series)
Terry Brooks and Raymond Feist
William Gibson & Bruce Sterling for obvious reasons
The Truth Machine by James Halperin
Otherland: City of Golden Shadow by Tad Williams
Microserf by Douglas Coupland
The First $20 Million is Always the Hardest by Po Bronson

I try to read at least one or two novel per week. So I thought I'll provide a mini-review of each book; you'd be disappointed if you're looking for in-depth reviews. Sometimes I skip around in novels and read just the good stuff. Let's face it, even the best novel can be edited down in size without losing the plot or structure. (No, I'm not the kind of person who first turns to the last page of a mystery novel.) To check out the reviews, jump to my Book Review Corner.

For those who are curious about my employment background, you can check out my resumé. I will always remember this saying (paraphrased from Mark Twain): "Never let school get in the way of your education." I'd say 90% of the things I've learned about computers isn't from college. But one of the most important thing I learn from Cal Poly was the internet (yes, with a lowercase "i"; this was in 1992 before the net exploded with the web). I remembered discovering Usenet and FTP, and ended up killing a lot of time reading news and grabbing files (which I really didn't use or need) from all over the place!

I've always played with computers since I was young. I started with the Atari 2600/Colecovision for games, and moved to Apple ][ and Radio Shack's "Trash 80" during my Jr. High/High school years. I also had, one time or another, these systems: Atari 800XL (64K), Commodore 128 (128K), Amiga 1000 (512K), Atari 520ST (512K; monochrome only), 386/25 (8MB), 486 DX2/66 (16MB), Pentium 200MMX (64MB).

Now I have the following system and accessories:

What's in my bag?

Click here to see some of the many wedding pictures we took. For some reason, copy places like Kinko will refuse to make copies of wedding pictures because they are copyright. Which is kind of strange when you think about it. I mean, it's not like I'm going to sell copies of my wedding pictures for a ton of money. Duh...

We travelled all over Europe for our honeymoon. Click here for the map.

Well, there you have it: my bio in a nutshell! Have fun cruising the web and come back soon . . .
