What a surprise and pleasure to have joined Circle of Song. It was during a visit to Julie and Jack's farm that I noticed a piano and next thing I knew, a bunch of us were singing an 'adulterated' version of Summer Nights in front of over 600 people at the Friday night opening keynote for the NOFA summer conference.
Over the years I've played keyboards in a number of different jam bands and here and there have found myself singing things like the Rolling Stones "Sympathy For The Devil" and Greatful Dead's "Fire on the Mountain". Who would ever have guessed that now it's chart busters like "Sicut Locutus Est" and "I Wonder As I Wonder"? Not me! What a treat to be in such a dedicated group and really learning how to sing...finally!
My day job is writing code, I'm a Microsoft Certified Professional as a C# Software Engineer consulting primarily in the enterprise area: merchandising, banking and web applications. I also have a business building websites for restaurants and other small businesses which require Web 2.0 features and are database driven. My current focus is creating Silverlight Rich Interactive Applications for line of business applications with an eye toward cloud based computing. My college training is as an electrical engineer however I put my soldiering iron down long ago and have been writing code professionally for over 25 years.
