More pictures I live in Parkville, Maryland. It's close enough to Baltimore that the water tastes funny, and far enough away that you can't catch a bus to save your life. So I have a car, a red 2002 Honda Civic EX. I'll probably never buy another non-Honda again, although I miss my black '87 Renault Allaince.

I'm from New York, originally. I lived in Flushing, Queens until I was 8, then my family moved to Spring Valley, in Rockland County. If you look at a map, follow the Garden State Parkway north and the New York State Thruway from the Tappan Zee Bridge west until they meet. I'm a little bit north of that. I moved to Baltimore in 1987 when I started college, to Towson in 1994, and to Parkville in 1999.

In December 1995, I graduated from [X] , after a brief (7 year) stint as a student at, and employee of, The Johns Hopkins University.

Having finished my employ at Hopkins and my education at [X], I spent a year developing web pages for Potomac Research International (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Decision Systems Technologies, Inc.), a contractor for the U. S. Army Environmental Center. I then spent 8 years as a System Administrator (I am Root! Fear me!) for First American CMSI, a financial software company near Fort Meade, MD -- a wholly-owned subsidiary of the First American Corporation. I am now a Senior Systems Administrator for Yellowbrix, a web content company in Alexandira, VA (a mere 2 hours from home).

On 12 October 2003, I married Michelle. I should write more about her. But she is a very active member in the Games Club of Maryland, and she is a math teacher at North County High School in Anne Arundel County. We have three cats. I usually listen to WQSR 105.7 FM . So that's about it for hobbies -- oh, I also juggle... much to the delight of my cats Oscar and Sweetums, who chase things I drop.

As far as personal opinions, I tend to waver. I was raised Jewish, but I consider myself Agnostic, although my culture and manners are blatantly New-York-Jewish. Politically, I waver between liberal and libertarian. I support my police (having been one for 18 months, and having been a police dispatcher for 2 1/2 years) and other emergency workers. I followed the New York Mets before I gave up baseball during the strike of '94. I followed the Baltimore Stallions Canadian Football team before they moved to Montreal. Now I have a love-hate relationship with the 2005 NCAA Champion Johns Hopkins Blue Jays lacrosse team, and pay attention to the Baltimore Orioles just to have something to talk about.

My musical tastes lean heavily to the late 50's, the 60's, the early/mid 70's, skip disco, pick up again in the early 80's, and then include Billy Joel, "Weird" Al Yankovic, and Christine Lavin. Now that my those collections are complete, I'm picking up John Lennon and replacing my aging Beatles albums and tapes.

I usually wear jeans and t-shirts, with a special fondness for three tie-dyes made by my sister Lori, and a John Lennon T-shirt with my most-favoritest quote. I haven't matched a pair of socks since October 1986... well, once, but I was dressing in the dark and it was an accident, and I choose not to dwell on one slip. On the Myers-Briggs test, I'm an ISTJ. I consider myself to be eccentric, which is what they call insane people who are too important to insult by calling them insane.
