When I'm not sitting in front of my computer I'm either coaching basketball, mountain biking, or riding sportbikes.
I've worked with many different programming languages in my career including VB, php, C#, ASP.NET, Java, and ColdFusion. For some reason I'm always come back to ColdFusion as my language of choice.

Lately my focus has been more on Object Oriented design and best practices. You'll see that a lot of my posts will be covering OO topics in addition to normal programming topics. I've also been making a concentrated effort to read more and I'll be positing reviews of the books I read on this blog as well.
