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):

	[I plan] to see, hear, touch, and destroy everything in my path,
including beets, rutabagas, and most random vegetables, but excluding yams,
as I am absolutely terrified of yams...
	Actually, I think my fear of yams began in my early youth, when many
of my young comrades pelted me with same for singing songs of far-off lands
and deep blue seas in a language closely resembling that of the common sow.
My psychosis was further impressed into my soul as I reached adolescence,
when, while skipping through a field of yams, light-heartedly tossing flowers
into the stratosphere, a great yam-picking machine tore through the fields,
pursuing me to the edge of the great plantation, where I escaped by diving
into a great ditch filled with a mixture of water and pig manure, which may
explain my tendency to scream, "Here come the Martians!  Hide the eggs!" every
time I have pork.  But I digress.  The fact remains that I cannot rationally
deal with yams, and pigs are terrible conversationalists.

* 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).
