Work Stuff

I'm a member of the technical staff at Nokia, in the Nokia Internet Communications division. Mostly I work with the Check Point VPN-1 and FireWall-1 products, but I am a hack of all trades focusing on third party application support

Home Stuff

I live in Soquel, (in Santa Cruz County), with my wife, two kids, dog, cat, and rabbit.  The horses (mercifully) live elsewhere.

Interests

Among the many hobbies I no longer have time for are Brewing, Model Rocketry, and Woodworking.

Among the reasons I don't have much time for these (besides work) are Emily's horses and hockey, Thomas's fencing and school,  Marianne's work on the board of PCS,  and helping with Boy Scout Troop 618.

I do try to play a little guitar and I have started learning to play jazz on my S3 guitar. Steve is a long time friend, and makes beautiful (and beautiful sounding) instruments.
