Professional Bio:

Began his career as a software engineer on Sun Unix in Aerospace in 1991, entered University of Pennsylvania Graduate School part-time soon after. The various defense industry mergers of the 90s left him at CSC, so he jumped ship to work at Commodore Computer in 1994, just in time to finish his graduate degree, and for Commodore to go under. From there spent four years helping build Computer Animation software in Toronto, Canada, before realizing he could transfer to their office in Santa Barbara, CA. A year later, he jumped ship to work for DreamWorks Animation in Silicon Valley as a coder. Three years after that, left to spend a year and a half building software in New Zealand before moving back to the Delaware Valley and finding Dorset Connects.
