| Introduction | I was born in Burlingame and grew up in San Mateo. I attended college at UC Santa Barbara where I received a degree in Economics. I also attended Cal St. Hayward where I received an MS in Applied Math. I've lived in Israel a couple of times. Once for a couple of years (on a Kibbutz and archaeological dig), another time for almost a year (attended the Weizmann Institute of Science). Professionally, I'm a Software Quality Assurance Engineer. I've worked at Xerox, EFI, Intuit, Netscape/AOL, Mozilla, Sentinel Vision, and back at Intuit. I've created an assortment of test tools, automation suites, and test drivers to test APIs. I've been married to a lovely woman, Diana Blank, for almost 5 years. We have a beautiful girl, Rachel Rebecca, who is over 4 years old, and our sweet boy, Joshua Herbert, who is just almost 2 years old! |
