<strong>Seven things:</strong>

<ol>

<li>I have 4 children (all girls) ages 15, 13, 10 & 8 months. They&apos;re the loves of my life.

</li>

<li>My wife and I met on Match.com. After my divorce, the last thing I was interested in was the club scene so I gave online dating a try. I almost gave up on it after a couple of not-so-great dates and the date with my wife was going to be my last. As luck would have it, I met the most awesome woman in the world and the rest is history.

</li>

<li>When I was younger, I aspired to be a comic strip artist. I had the talent to draw but I think I was entirely too logical so the humor aspect of that just wasn&apos;t there. Bloom County is my all time favorite strip and I think Berke Breathed is a comic genius.</li>

<li>Baseball was my passion and I played the sport for 12 years. I started off as a catcher and then shifted to first base. I hit .634 my sophomore year and .585 my junior year before getting into an argument with the head coach and skipping my senior year. I ran cross-country my senior year and won Outstanding Cross Country athelete.</li>

<li>The first language that I coded in professional was a dBase-like compiled variant called Clipper. It was PC-based and I truly loved it. My friend Tony DelCampo was my mentor and taught me a ton of coding principles that no college class bothered to cover. I actually learned about OOP using Clipper because there was a 3rd party lib called Classy which provided OOP capability.</li>

<li>I didn&apos;t have a girlfriend until I was a junior in high school. I was WAY TOO introverted and had an extremely hard time socializing, especially with girls.</li>

<li>I&apos;ve competed nationally in paintball and took second place at a major tournament.

<p><strong>Seven people who shall also have to go through this harrowing
experience:</strong></p>

<ol>
<li><a href="http://ejohn.org">John Resig</a>, because a little part of me wishes I could be as cool and collected as he is when put on a panel.</li>

<li><a href="http://osunick.com/">Nick Nguyen</a>, because if I didn&apos;t antagonize my boss, then how can I sleep at night! ;)</li>

<li><a href="http://blog.mozilla.com/tomcat/">Carsten Book (AKA TomCat)</a>, because he has the coolest nickname ever!</li>

<li><a href="http://brian.kingsonline.net/talk/">Brian King</a>, because Brian impressed the crap out of me at Add-on-Con and I want to make sure more people know about him!
</li>

<li><a href="http://mozillamemory.org">Karen Prescott</a>, because she continues to be patient with me even after I ask silly questions.</li>

<li><a href="http://fredericiana.com/">Fred Wenzel</a>, because I know he&apos;ll always hook me up if I need some coding help</li>

<li>Sean Alamares, because he&apos;s a cool cat.</li>
