Who am I?

All time favorite Gadget
Palm Tungsten E2

Favorite vacation spot? Why?
Kauai, Hawaii (though it's been a long time since I've been there). A beautiful island and a place that (when I last visited it at least) wasn't as built up as some other beautiful places.

What do you do at SureTech.com?
I play a number of roles. I try to look at the big picture of how we are going to successfully deliver the right set of technologies to our customers. I work on managing our technology projects to ensure they are delivered on time. And I also do a fair amount of work on the server-side technologies we deliever.

Technology is not a cure for everything. Sometimes it can be the problem rather than the solution.
