Welcome to The Dragon's Lair. This is a project that has changed much over the years, things have come and gone as my interests and motivations have changed. It will never be finished and it may sometimes become stagnant for a bit, but as time and inspiration allow, I will add to it.

I am currently engaged in a job search. My resume (or Curriculum Vitae if you prefer) is available for download here from this site. I am looking for employment in the greater San Diego area as a Test Engineer. My skills include automation of manufacturing test of a wide variety of product types including power supplies, RF and microwave devices, networking devices, and avionics systems.

• March 2008: Due to a server move and a lack of time to get everything completely back up and running, the photo gallery and a few other things are now down. This will be remedied as soon as possible. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Random Pithiness (refresh the page for new randomness):

	 A Plan for the Improvement of English Spelling
			  by Mark Twain

	For example, in Year 1 that useless letter "c" would be dropped
to be replased either by "k" or "s", and likewise "x" would no longer
be part of the alphabet.  The only kase in which "c" would be retained
would be the "ch" formation, which will be dealt with later.  Year 2
might reform "w" spelling, so that "which" and "one" would take the
same konsonant, wile Year 3 might well abolish "y" replasing it with
"i" and Iear 4 might fiks the "g/j" anomali wonse and for all.
	Jenerally, then, the improvement would kontinue iear bai iear
with Iear 5 doing awai with useless double konsonants, and Iears 6-12
or so modifaiing vowlz and the rimeining voist and unvoist konsonants.
Bai Iear 15 or sou, it wud fainali bi posibl tu meik ius ov thi
ridandant letez "c", "y" and "x" -- bai now jast a memori in the maindz
ov ould doderez -- tu riplais "ch", "sh", and "th" rispektivli.

* Why is there a photo of a ship on this page? That is the Star of India, the oldest iron-hulled ship still actively sailed anywhere in the world. She leaves her dock regularly a couple times a year and she resides at the Maritime Museum of San Diego. She is a beautiful lady with an interesting history and I just thought she was a fitting portrait that represents one aspect of my home town. (As a matter of fact, to learn more about my town, please visit my San Diego page).
