I live in the Pacific Northwest with my wonderful wife of over twenty years Shannon Sr..  I've been blessed with three kids (Elizabeth, Rosey, and Alex).  We have an aging Golden Retriever named Kayci.  My eldest daughter is already in college at Hawaii, and my next child is looking, while my youngest is starting high school. 

I received by bachelor's degree at UCSD, in John Muir College.  I got a minor in Literature Writing, a major in Mathematics.  By an extraordinary stroke of luck, I met my wife on my first day of classes, a Thursday.  After we graduated, we moved to Ithaca NY, where I completed my Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics at Cornell University.

I started work at Intel Corp. in August 1993.  I'm now the software architect for the Intel(R) Math Kernel Library.  I sometimes write nonfiction in the area of numerical linear algebra.

I like Taekwondo.  I got my third degree black belt in June 2006.  My daughter Rosey got her second degree black belt in 2004.

I'm a writer among many other things.   I attempted my first novel in the fifth grade.  However, that project didn't get past thirty thousand words of which fifteen thousand of them must have been adjectives (I had just discovered something called a Thesaurus).    

I completed my first novel around 1991.  This time, I kept my adjectives in check.  I've now completed nine novels.  I'm a dedicated writer, putting aside time to write every day.  I've taken some writing courses at the local community college to enhance my skills.  I've joined writing groups.  I'm a volunteer at the Willamette 2009 writer's conference.
