Work
I am a director for Smart Frameworks. If you need Java/J2EE, Web, or Internet design, architecture, or programming send me an email! Though we are based in London, UK, we have international experience and offer a variety of services including consulting, architecture & software development, and training.
My specialty is large-scale Web applications infrastructure. Go to the company site to see more of the products and services.
Publications

Java Programming for the Internet (out-of-print)
My column in DBPD had great reviews, see some reader comments here and read the articles here.
Upcoming
I am developing a training course for the Struts MVC framework. Please contact me if you are interested in this hands-on course.
If you haven't discovered Struts and you are developing Web applications in Java, you need to learn more about it!
Background
I have a bachelor's in Applied Science from the University of North Carolina, as well as master's in Biomedical Engineering/Informatics from UNC.
I have worked and played in many parts of the world, and have enjoyed every minute of it!
Fun
Recently I've been playing RTCW to keep my reflexes sharp :)
As my blood is Tarheel blue, you can usually find me playing some basketball. I also enjoy reading a decent book, eating at a nice restaurant, or having a drink with some friends.
