My two daughters from my prior marriage. They live with their mother in Washington state. Kristen is going to be a senior in high school and Amber will start 9th grade.

Our family: my wife--Nadine, me, and her three children by prior marriage--Zach, Mieke, Melissa. This was taken a year ago, a few months before Zach left for his LDS mission. Mieke has just started her LDS mission. Melissa is going into 11th grade this year.

My Interests, Hobbies, Career

I worked for Cogito, Inc. (http://www.cogitoinc.com) as a software developer with the official title of Sr. Scientist until the new VC's decided to downsize.

I am interested in many things. Snow skiing sometimes is fun. I have a dual sport motorcycle I use quite often in good weather. Games I enjoy include chess, Starcraft, Warcraft (ver 2, 3), many strategy games, card games such as rook, spades, Canasta, ..., Banchi. I've done oil and acrylic painting. Just starting taking-up pastels.

Currently learning about and starting to trade Forex (foreign exchange/spot currencies).
