About Mike
This blog is an attempt to keep family, friends and anyone else that’s interested, updated on the latest news about me or things I’m interesting in. I am into A LOT of different things and my areas of expertise span multiple disciplines so the scattered content on this blog is intentional. Check out the previous posts to see how scattered the content is!
Currently, I live in Blacksburg, Virginia, home of Virginia Tech. I have also lived in Budapest, Hungary and in a small rural town in New Jersey (not unlike Blacksburg, but a lot less to do).
I do almost everything such as programming and interface design to databases and translations/localizations. I mostly work in Adobe’s Flash, Flex, Microsoft’s ASP .NET and Javascript/AJAX, PHP and Objective-C. I also do freelance photo work.
For hobbies, I’m also interested in music (guitar, sax, trombone), scuba diving, finance/economics/investing, reading, cooking, flying (private pilot, single engine land), languages (5 spoken languages: German, Hungarian, Spanish and Italian) and anything outdoors including hiking, kayaking and biking.
My past includes working in Higher Education Sales at Apple Inc. for New River Valley colleges (Virginia Tech and Radford), state ranked sabre fencer, working at Virginia Tech’s New Media Center as a New Media Consultant and I have a few years of video production experience.
My moto is “Trying to Fit Life into a Lifetime” and I have no idea how long that lifetime is. So, hopefully you find something useful in these pages. So, that’s just a little bit about me. If you’re more curious than that, you know how to contact me!
