Intro

Here you will find some of the typical web site bragging about me, my family and my work. You'll also find information about IRC and amateur radio.

This site is used for distribution of my freeware QSL card program, QSLMaker. Click on the Ham Radio box above. There's also some homebrew information on the Ham Radio page

I have a page full of pictures, I take waaaayy too many, so if you're the sort of person who likes looking at someone else's boring pictures, have a blast!
