This page is intentionally done in B&W w/o CSS as it's intended to be a point of contact, rather than some attempt to show off my Web design & coding skills (although I do some minor AJAX for show-off below.) My philosophy is that it should look the same on all browsers, use only the most basic HTML; load quickly, and simply provide contact information. It's been here since 1998 and is much like Google's approach: fast, simple, and to-the-point, and I believe reflects my work philosophy well; if it's not broken, don't fix it; Keep It Simple Silly (KISS); make sure things work for anybody and everybody.
My resume and references are available upon request via email, in Microsoft Word, Adobe PDF or text format, or you can also view my LinkedIn Profile.
If you would like to receive a copy, please contact me about why you would like a copy and I will email one ASAP. I also have references available upon request, and am a U.S. citizen available to work in the U.S. Serious inquiries only please.
Certified and experienced CISSP (Computer Security Professional) and have finished all coursework for the PMP (Project Manager Professional) certification (but have not, at this date, taken the exam.) Stay tuned.

A reference from a follow-up with a recent client, Stephen Chowning, owner of The Rot Doctor in Seattle, WA:
"Everything is great here. I want to thank you for all your hard work. I haven't worked with a lot of programmers, but I have worked with enough to know that you are much better than average. You worked diligently on my problem, worked on my schedule, not yours, and fixed a thorny problem well. I couldn't be happier. Please feel free to use me as a reference."
Zee Random Quote:
I run and maintain a Linux Fedora Core server to support my own domains, used for promoting my freelance consulting and Project Managment work, consulting development, audio & studio businesses — as well as hosting a number of Web sites for artists associated with my audio/studio work. I do not offer any professional services or hosting (sorry, had to explain this for tax/legal reasons.
Up until early 2004, the entire server was run off an old, donated P-166 named "Adam". You can see a photo homage to the old machine here: The Little Server That Could. Circa 2005, I went through a couple more old machines about every six months until I finally just bought a new Dell, which I hope would last 10 years. That server ran Fedora Core 2 on a dual Pentium-4 2.8Ghz processor Dell Dimension 4700 w/65 GB disk and 512MB memory. But Dell machines aren't anywhere near the quality of the mid-to-late 1990's Optiplex series, so I ended up building my own machine from scratch with individual components: a custom-built Pentium 4 - 3.2GHz processor with 2GB memory and about 800GB disk space. It was rebuilt with Fedora Core 8 which I'm mostly happy with except Mailman is broken (and can't be upgraded) and 'metamail' isn't installed.
