Bio
I’m a DBA and a code monkey who started life as a pilot. I’ve primarily worked in ColdFusion and Microsoft T-SQL, with a smattering of pretty much whatever I’ve been asked to do. I’m a self-taught guy, and I constantly find new, shiny things that I want to learn more about. I’ve been doing both the coder and the database things for a while now. I know a thing or two. At least I hope I do.
