         Sorry, Programming Questions will be ignored!

My beautiful wife's name is Jeanine. Our  daughters are Alyssa and Samantha. My dog is Mickey and the cat is Sandy. I hope to add a few pictures here so you can get a look at everyone in our family.

I am a self taught programmer beginning with 68000 Assembler for the Amiga. From there I progressed to C and along the way learned Adobe Postscript and the old MS Basic. I played around with FoxPro and DBASE before I ended up writing AR and POS stuff in a Basic under the THEOS operating System. It was a good Basic dialect, direct ISAM stuff but no GUI whatsoever.

When the spreadsheets got too complicated it became time to try and generate a few Database apps in house. I had briefly visited Access a few years ago and in the late fall of 1998 decided to standardize on Access for all in house apps. In 1999 I started to get serious with Visual Basic and the API's. In late 1999 I dusted off my old C skills and started learning C++. In early 2000 I was selected to become a Microsoft Access MVP.

May 2008 - New addition to the family. Mickey, our beloved Golden Retriever passed away several years ago. Here is our new puppy named Bailey. He is a male Golden Retriever 9 weeks old.

The 2003 - 2004 season I am coaching two teams. The Riverview Mini A girls Provincial Team and the Moncton Juvenile Stars Provincial Girls Team. Photos coming soon!

For the 2002 - 2003 season I was lucky enough to coach three teams!

From 1999

I coach my oldest daughter's Basketball team. Alyssa is the tallest girl, 4 down from me in the back row. She's 5'9" and only 12 years old. Thank God for genetics...she looks like her mother!

This is a shot from early 1999 of my youngest daughter, Sam's Basketball team. Sam is in the Front Row, third from the left.
