BrainThump is my outlet for "fun projects" outside of what I do for a living. It started in 2004 when I first developed a .NET Compact Framework application for a U.S. Navy customer and I decided I really liked it so started doing it for fun after work.

By day I work as a software engineer for a defense/government contractor developing solutions for customers like the U.S. Navy and the FAA. By night I like to develop software for Windows Mobile devices.

I'm also heavily involved with the .NET/Geek community. I love Code Camps, user groups, and the interaction with the whole community. For my efforts in supporting the community I've been recognized as a Microsoft MVP(Device Application Development), an INETA Community Champion, and inducted to the Community-Credit.com Hall of Fame.
