Welcome to my blog !
With 2010 around the corner, I decided to join the thousands of fellow bloggers at WordPress.com.
Technical ( mini Resume )
Consultant Software Engineer with over 20 years experience specializing in Microsoft platform .NET Technologies. I believe in having a well-rounded skill set: effective and efficient verbal and written communication, team leadership with communication of technical concepts, training skills and “can do” attitude are all part of the skills package for a successful software professional.
BTW, I run the Southern California DotNetNuke (DNN) Users Group at QuickStart in Irvine Ca on the 2nd Wednesday of the month. http://www.socaldug.org
I’ve spoken at various .NET User Groups such as the Inland Empire .NET User Group, Manhattan Beach C# User Group and our own DotNetNuke User Group. Here’s a sample video excerpt on Youtube:

Amateur Video / Photographer:
I’m a firm believer in documenting the memories in Video and Digital Photos even though family / friends can be somewhat disinterested/uncooperative. It always great to share these at a later date and eventually distribute to other family members around the world.
My recent Nov 2009 trip to Mainland China, I collected a lot of Video and pictures and created DVDs for family and friends using Microsoft Tools: Windows DVD Maker, PhotoStory 3.1, Windows Movie Maker.
Contact me if you want to tell your own story using Video/Pics.
