Geeky

Having been a software engineer for many years, my technical experience gives me an advantage indexing computer technology and software related technical books.

I'm familiar with software jargon and understand what people employed in the software industry will search for in high-tech related indexes. I've been employed in the wireless technologies industry for the past thirteen years and am knowledgeable in a wide range of cellular technologies.

Not-So-Geeky

To balance my geeky side, I write fiction and non-fiction. I paint watercolors, canoe (whitewater and flatwater), raft, kayak, bike, and enjoy extended self-supported wilderness adventure trips (rafting and canoeing). I'm a devotee of low-impact camping, health/fitness, nutrition and cooking. I am passionate about indexing books on these and related subjects.
