I grew up in Pinellas County, Florida. Attended St. Patrick's grade school, Clearwater Central Catholic High School, and the University of North Florida. Graduated with a B.S. in Information Science in 1985, then worked as a Raytheon software engineer in St. Petersburg, Florida. In the 2000's, in Houston, Texas, worked on the United Space Alliance computer staff for the Space Shuttle Cockpit Avionics Upgrade project. After that project, trained astronauts at Johnson Space Center to operate the International Space Station robotic arm. Returned to Florida in 2012, and worked as the Internet Manager for Park Auto Mall in Pinellas Park. In 2017-present, I've been primary caregiver for my mother. In that timeframe, I developed a polyhedral dice game website, www.dodecgame.com. In 2023, I became a Salesforce Certified Associate, and Salesforce Certified Administrator.
