I love teaching and writing. And I hope my books are a vehicle for learning. It is my goal to teach you new technologies in a way that it very readable, conversational.
I live in Texas (near Dallas). I have one son, named AJ. I have few vices in my life except for my love of pipes and an occaisional Guiness. I can be found at least a couple of days a week at the Cigar Lounge in McKinney Texas (www.acigarlounge.com). Sometimes writing, sometimes just smoking!
