About

My story so far...

General Information

I live in Windsor, Ontario, Canada where I lived (other than University) since I was born on March 01, 1981.

I spend most of my time reading various books, programming, and doing work. My greatest fields of interest are P2P, digital image processing, number theory, compression, and changing diapers.

Other than work and geek things, I also spend a lot of time with my wife Shannon, and twin boys.

I was born and raised on a farm. I'm glad that the hard work is over.
I'm a home body, but I do like to go out (just not to bars and that stuff). I'd rather do constructive things with my time
