About

I've been writing software since I got my first Tandy Color computer (16k!) back in 1981. Eventually I built my first sales-and-inventory system in dBase to run my own distribution company — then sold that company. I started the first cellular store in eastern Saskatchewan in Canada and sold that too. Along the way I built abcDB, a mobile PocketPC database that ended up used in more than 110 countries, was localized into Spanish and Japanese, and that got me invited to Microsoft's headquarters in 2004 as one of a handful of developers worldwide. Since then I've spent fifteen-plus years as a full-stack developer — CRM systems running more than a dozen dealerships, e-commerce platforms serving customers across North America.
