I was born in Houston, Texas in 1970. My family moved to Illinois when I was 2 years old. I have lived there ever since.
I am a computer professional with over 14 years of experience. Currently, I work as software engineer for a contractor to Lockheed Martin. I am responsible for designing, coding, testing, documenting and maintaining software. If you want to know more about my professional credentials, please check out my resume.
I have a twin brother, Kevin. He has a website, kevindumpscore.com Interests
I play computer games, experiment with new recipes and write software.
I am proud to have done my part to support open source software since I picked up my first Linux distribution, Slackware, over ten years ago.

These bands have a place on my playlist: Alice In Chains, Black Label Society, Johnny Cash, Clutch, Andrae Crouch, Daft Punk, DeGarmo & Key, Bob Dylan, Megadeth, Metallica, Nirvanna, Primus, Rob Zombie, Sister Machine Gun, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Wierd Al Yankovic
