Personal

I have aways loved figuring out how things work. For example, when I was 13, I took apart my parent's lawnmower just to see if I could put it back together. I had several panic attacks, but I managed to put the mower back together. And it worked!

Technical writing and web design require the same kind of skill, thinking, and tenacity: I have to keep figuring out how things work. It's something I naturally love to do.

I try to balance work with play. The harder I play, the more energy I have for work. Each feeds the other.

Skiing, biking, hiking, and climbing with my wife and good friends. This brings energy into my life, and, consequently, into my work.
