LocationLewisville, Texas, United States
IntroductionGrew up in Warsaw, NY, a small farming town with more cows than people. Went to school at Syracuse University where I met my wife Kerri--on the last day of school no less. Got an "Internet" job, which had me living in NYC for awhile, only to spend most of my time flying on a plane to Dallas, TX. My wife Kerri and I currently live outside Dallas, TX and have a daughter named Emily and a son named Jack. They're the fuel that keeps me going everyday. Professionally, I lead a small team responsible for creating the next generation of content management capabilities for a major fashion retailer. I have deep experience leading teams in the development of Java based e-commerce and Intranet based solutions. Most recently, I've gained new love and passion for open-source technologies, such as Django (A Python web-framework) and Alfresco (open-source ECM) which serve as the engine for our new corporate Intranet.

Why does the taste of pennies remind you of losing a tooth?

The metallic taste = the iron-rich blood taste when a tooth is lost.
