Bio:Like many, I started on Apple computers back in the mid 80′s. But since you must experience pain and sorrow to truly know joy, I did my requisite years on the Windows platform before finding myself and my happiness again with Apple’s OS X. I had one of the very first 17″ PowerBooks out of our local Apple store and have never looked back.
Not long after submerging myself back into the world of Apple, I began writing here at TheAppleBlog. I love to write and talk about Apple, so it was a perfect fit. I relish the chance to educate others and geek-out, so please feel free to ask questions. I thoroughly enjoy lively comment threads on my posts, so please sound off!
When I’m not writing here, I’m serving as the world’s greatest dad to 3 kids, making my lovely wife fall in love with me each day, playing with Legos, checking someone at the hockey rink, traveling Colorado to make great photographs, or paying the bills as a Cisco Network Engineering consultant. And other stuff.
