I am the oldest of three boys, the son of a banjo-playing plumber, and a nurse. Our home was bustling and rambunctious, filled with curious little boys and lots of home-grown music. From a very young age I was interested in absorbing all of the information that surrounded me. Constantly bombarding my mother with a barrage of "Why ?'s", we often took the encyclopedia off the shelf to find out why water boils or why the sky is blue. My mom is really cool. My father provided my brothers and me with a creative environment: bringing home televisions for fixing, which strangely resembled dismantling, a variety of musical instruments for us to try out, and boards which we used to build "airplanes" and "spacecrafts". This dismantling, fostered by a strong interest in the way things work, eventually became genuine repair, and I found that I could fix the television, the stereo, tap a telephone jack into my bedroom, or install a satellite dish outside my bedroom window. I emerged from this unique childhood with a thirst for knowledge, and a healthy creative drive. I am a 1999 graduate of the University of Evansville, with a Bachellors of Science degree in Computer Engineering. I also manage On-Site Computer Solutions, which was founded in 1997 with two of my friends from college - Cameron Littke and Mark Henderson. On-Site Computer Solutions is a service oriented computer consulting group. If you are interested or need computer help call (812) 424-HELP, or email me at

. I am a husband and father of two wonderful children, Allie and Ryan. I always aim to keep my priorities straight, and spend time with my family. My children are the most important investment I have. In my "spare time", I organize and play Violin and Viola (on occasion) for the Evansville String Quartet. Over the summers, I cruise the fiddle contest scene, competing and judging fiddle contests around the US. I have a few pet projects that also keep things interesting. I am cochair of the Newburgh Fiddler Fest Fiddle Contest - a strong and growing regional fiddle contest that is gaining national recognition. Some of these projects are work related: On-Site is involved with creating the Willard Ghost Cams, an interactive web site featuring live web cams of the famous haunted library. On-Site also has done Web Cams and Wireless Hotspots at the Evansville Freedom Festival, and the West Side Nutclub Fall Festival.
