Biography

I was born in Alberta, but I have spent most of my adult life on the west coast of British Columbia. We relocated to Victoria in 1990 to experience "island living". We love Victoria and plan to stay here. We live on an acreage outside of Victoria with our son.

I have a life-long interest in computer programming going back to the days of the Commodore64. I have dabbled in a number of languages including assembler, forth, visual foxpro, PHP and C++.

I started designing web sites about three years ago. When the president of a local sports club asked me to design their web site, I decided to learn drupal CMS, which I still use today.

A few years ago, I received a Technical Communication Certificate from Vancouver Island University. I have an interest in how computers, technology and the internet are used to disseminate information. 

For the last six years, I have home-schooled my son. Now that he is attending high school (he no longer needs me), I would like to get back to full-time work.
