My professional work and interests
Based in Portland, Oregon, I work as a database developer who specializes in T-SQL programming and
business intelligence development.
I have five years of development experience on the
SQL Server platform and eight years of overall experience
with relational database development.
Please feel free to visit my portfolio for some samples
of my programming work.
Never complacent with my current set of skills, I have always put a great deal of value on
professional development. Along with staying engaged with a number of local SQL Server user groups
in the Portland area, you'll often find me carrying around a book or two on technical areas that
interest me. I encourage you to visit my list of
favorite database development resources.
