I'm a career programmer with 25 years of diverse technology experience. 

In my personal time I designed and built an energy efficient home for my wife and myself in the mountains of Western Maryland, and I'm an advocate of changing our culture into a world where science and technology are celebrated.  I founded a non-profit corporation: The Garrett Engineering And Robotics Society Inc. (GEARSinc.org) to be a central hub for Science, Technology and Engineering inspiration in our area.  I pioneered SuGO (a LEGO based Sumo Robot competition), and coach three FIRST Robotics teams (FRC, FTC and FLL).  Our FLL team has won the Maryland Championship twice in a row, and the FRC team has won it once.

In my "work" life: I was a team member on the 1998 HMS Titanic expedition, I've co-authored TrialMax, (the software package that was used to defend Microsoft their antitrust suit) and I converted Annapolis MD's online Web newspaper from a manually generated site to an automated publishing system.
