Senior Web Developer
Washington, DC USA

Access Body Surfing Interview!

Business: I am a Senior Web Developer at ESI International. ESI provides project and contract management training to executives around the world. We are quickly developing and expanding our eTraining division, where we host our courses on the internet. I develop the web pages that provide the backbone for these courses. I focus primarily on the programming of the ASP pages and the SQL Server databases, not the visual design or content aspects of the pages. Before I joined ESI earlier this year, I managed my own business freelancing in Web development and VB front ends. I still do some contracting on the side. It really helps to widen my skill set to work on a variety of different projects. I am a Brown Unversity graduate.

Personal: I'm a big fan of anything that puts me in or near the water. I love swimming, rowing, tubing, bodysurfing, jetskiing, etc. I also like volleyball, skiing and biking. I love to travel. Experiencing different cultures and new sights is always a plus for me. I've been to Brazil, Costa Rica, Cuba, Zimbabwe and all over Western Europe and North America. At home, I share an apartment south of Dupont Circle with a Tabby cat named Peanut. I love to dance, especially retro tunes from the 70s and 80s. I'm always up for trying new things. Last week, it was hang gliding. Next week, it will be something different. I'm a big believer in animal rights. One night when I was 9, my family had rabbit stew. Without thinking about it, I announced I wasn't going to eat Bugs Bunny. The next day I decided that I was going to become a vegetarian over strong objections of my parents. Nobody (least of all me) actually believed that I would keep it up more than a week or two. However, I have thought about it and reaffirmed my commitment many times over the years since then. By the way, there is a certain myth that you will not grow properly if you are a vegetarian. At 6'8", I think that I'm pretty strong proof that isn't true.
