I have a strong technical (engineering) background, which I bring to my computer endeavors. In the roles of instructor and consultant, I take particular pride in my ability to translate complex and sometimes bewildering concepts into something the non-technical person can readily understand—and to do so with a great deal of patience and respect. I derive great joy in uncovering the tricks and secrets that make software go; but empowering others with that knowledge is every bit as, if not more gratifying.

I will not claim to be an award winning artist or celebrated designer, but I am imaginative and resourceful with a good sense of the aesthetic. This page and the OC-CUG web pages, are representative of my creative skills. I approach all my publishing projects with care and consideration for my clients.
