Web Developer
After deciding that I didn't want to be a computer tech for the rest of my life in 1998, I started designing, building, and hosting websites. In 1999, I founded Technical Services of New York. In 2003, I received my Bachelor's Degree in Information Technology, and in 2007 I received my Master's Degree in Information Technology, both from Rochester Institute of Technology. Today, I am a full time Operations Support Developer at UniteU Technologies, a leading e-commerce solutions provider in Rochester, NY.
Drummer
I've been playing the drums since 1990, and I've played a very wide variety of styles and settings, including jazz ensembles and combos, concert bands, marching bands, rock bands, blues bands, and dance bands. In 2003, I graduated from RIT with a minor in Music. I currently play a Pearl kit with Zildjian and Wuhan cymbals with various groups in the Rochester area.
Railfan
You can catch me trackside all over Rochester, NY and beyond, and you can regularly find my photos in Railpace magazine. In 2002, my friend Otto Vondrak and I took over RAILROAD.NET, a popular railfan community, and in 2006 I took over ROCHESTER-RAILFAN.NET, a local railfanning resource. I am also a volunteer and webmaster at the Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum in Rush, NY, the Rochester Chapter NRHS, and the Railroad Museum of New England in Thomaston, CT.
Model Railroader
I'm a member, former president, and the webmaster of the RIT Model Railroad Club, the Superintendent and webmaster of the Lakeshores Division NMRA, and webmaster of the Niagara Frontier Region NMRA and the Northeastern Region NMRA. I currently model modern Conrail/CSX and Metro-North in HO, and I enjoy realistic operation (especially CTC for signaling and dispatching) on both permanent layouts and Free-mo modular layouts.
