Why I Love to Code and Teach

I am first and foremost a developer and I love to be in the trenches driving out complex business solutions that deliver value into the hands of clients.

I did, however, start off in the world of computers in a part time Computer Science teaching position. One thing I learned during that brief period is how much I enjoyed helping other developers improve their own skillsets. I have been blessed to work with many talented people over the years, along the way I have managed to accumulate an extensive knowledge base that I try to share with others as time permits.

When given the opportunity to share with the community at large I feel blessed and definitely enjoy it. It is an extremely refreshing experience when you can see the light go on in the eyes of a developer who realizes the value in a concept you are trying to convey.

Do I think I know it all? Absolutely not. Learning is a continuing journey. I love when I read something, or meet someone who shares a new idea with me that I was previously unaware of. I love having those humbling experiences that help keep the pride level in check!!

Though my speaking engagements are now cooling down I have been blessed with the opportunity to deliver several presentations over the course of the last couple of years. The following is a catalog of some of the presentations I have given.
