- General
Basically, I'm a big kid, with more expensive toys. I love to play with our 3 kids, blowing bubbles, playing catch, shooting a few baskets, acting silly, and playing our Nintendo Gamecube. Not bad for a 39 year old, huh? That old adage 'You're only as old as you feel.' kicks in when your 12, 8 , and 3 year old, as well as your lovely wife want your undivided attention.
- Occupation
Oracle Data Base Administrator (DBA) and Applications Administrator for JM Huber in Charlotte North Carolina (Until January of 2002). If you don't have a clue what an Oracle DBA does, don't feel bad; I didn't until a little over 7 years ago.
If you want to learn more about Oracle (A very large software company), why not read Oracle Unleashed, by Sam's Publishing? I wrote a few chapters in that book, with some of my friends. It was a great experience (i.e., looks great on a resume), and they even paid me for it!!!
- Favorite music
Rock from the late 70's, and early 80's, such as Led Zepplin, Boston, Journey etc. You get the picture; they're now considered oldies <heavy sigh>, but I still love the music.
- Hobbies and interests
Home computers, photography, fishing, home theatre, playing Nintendo 64 (Ray Man II, Jet Force Gemini, Donkey Kong 64, Mario Kart battle mode), eating (The wife's a wonderful southern cook), spending time with my family, watching DVD's, and spending time with Paula, my wife and best friend.
- Favorite movies
The World According to Garp (Very deep movie), Braveheart, The Explorers (By Steven Spielberg), Blade Runner (Director's cut), most Sci-Fi movies (The Fifth Element, Alien, Cyborg, etc.), action movies (Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, etc.), and even a comedy every now and then (Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Ruthless People, Christmas Vacation, etc.).
- Favorite places to eat out
Outback Steakhouse, The Meadowview Steak House, Chilis (Because of Miss Dana) and The Hughes Kitchen (Southern cookin' at it's best), and Jersey Mikes for subs.
