About
Interested in learning more about my incredibly exciting life?
I recently moved to Raleigh, NC. That’s been exciting. Quite a change from life back in Oklahoma City.
Things I’m Passionate About (in no particular order):
- Web Standards and Accessibility. I’ve had the pleasure of serving as the Chancellor’s representative to the Oklahoma Governor’s task force on accessibility. This task force put together legislation (HB 2197) and standards requiring that all state agencies meet and exceed the Federal Section 508 Standards for accessibility for all electronic and information technology.
- My wonderful wife.
- Photography and Art.
- Music in all it’s various forms. Currently on my iPod I have metal, polka, indie, some rap, French pop, a few jigs and reels, ad nauseum.. Country music is the exception to this rule. I like the old stuff. You know.. Waylon Willie and the boys.. But this new country music does absolutely nothing for me. Most of it seems to lack the passion.
Education
- B.S. Computer Science 1995, Southeastern Oklahoma State University
- Photography Degree Currently in Progress
Jobs I’ve Had:
- Burger Machine at McDonald’s
- Director of Computer Operations, FYI Marketers - Durant, OK
- Digital Video Editor / Print Design Artist, Heartland Wireless Communications - Durant, OK
- Video Network Engineer, OneNet - Oklahoma City, OK
- Web Administrator, Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education - Oklahoma City, OK
Interesting (or not) Tidbits:
Played guitar/mandolin in several bands through the years.
I have a piece on display as part of the permanent collection at the Oklahoma Heritage Museum.
My grandfather was Boxcar Willie’s manager.
I’ve climbed a Mayan pyramid at Chitzen Itza.
I shot a man in Reno.. Just to watch him die. Ok.. So stolen from a Johnny Cash song. I’m a bit too much of a pacifist and a good guy to commit anything quite that heinous.
