I started working with computers back in 1979 when my father bought me an Atari 400 and have been at it ever since.

I started drawing the first time I saw a Peanuts strip (I could not read it because I did not know English back then). I have been at it ever since.

Currently I work for the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago.

I am still partner of OnShore-Devel Inc. A very cool company with some of the smartest people around.

Lately I have been specializing in advanced ActionScript for Flash. Its amazing how far this little application has come. I can honestly say that there are very few things that Director does that Flash cannot do even better.

My specialty used to be Macromedia Director Lingo programming. I have written for several Director books and articles.

I am a suporter of open source software.

I am married to Carolyn, a graphic designer and my beloved partner. We have a baby boy named Victor and a puppy dog named Didi.
