About Me:

I'm the Application Development Manger for ProService Hawaii... Pretty much a jack of all trades. I've been in a variety of IT positions (from healthcare to academia), but have always wanted to NOT be the IT guy (strange, huh?).

Started application programming back in high school with dBase III and some Lotus 123 macros. Went to USC and majored in Biomedical/Electrical Engineering... Came home. Wrote applications for the majority of medical centers, primarily in FoxPro. Moved into IT Management and got an MBA from UHM. Was an independent consultant... Ran for office... Pretty much self taught in everything, so I'm a little rough around the edges. Now into PHP, MySQL and Open Source.

Just amazed at how far technology has gone in my lifetime and what you can do with $5 a month and the buy-in from a TV station.
