I am the primary software developer and architect for Binge. I've been developing web-based software applications since 1993, mostly large-scale directory, collaboration (social networking) and financial software. I was a Member of Technical Staff (MTS) in Bell Labs Research where I worked for 7 1/2 years, and later a Director at Cibernet Corporation where I was the principal software developer and architect. My volunteer activities include being the leader of the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) for the towns of Chaplin and Hampton, CT; being a member of the Democratic Town Committee for Chaplin, CT (and a convention delegate in 2010); and being a member of the Chaplin Conservation Committee. Back in college (Rutgers College), I used to run the Native American organization there (RONAC). I am a member of the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism), where I regularly attend some events, like the Pennsic War. I like a lot of music, including rock, folk and classical. Jethro Tull is probably my favorite band. I'm also very fond of Kate Bush, Kitaro, the Moody Blues and Led Zepplin. In folk music, I am partial to the likes of Greg Brown, Ani DiFranco and Dar Williams. I used to attend the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival every year for about 12 years. I also regularly attend Contra dances, and occasionally get to do English Country dances and other folk dances. I've been trying to learn belly dancing, but it'll take a lot more training. My favorite TV series of all time is Babylon 5; with Dr. Who, Monty Python and Black Adder also being ones I really enjoyed. I trained in and taught Hung-gar Shaolin Kung-fu for many years. I also hunt and butcher most of the red meat I eat--venision, as well as hunting turkey and occasionally some smaller animals.
