INTERESTS AND HOBBIES

Mobile Application Development

The area of mobile application development is still in its infancy dispute the well known fact that it is rapidly expanding. Given my experience in mobile applications for retail (including couponing, payment, point-of-sale, loyalty, etc) I feel that my skill and interest in this field results in exceptional output. I'm not just a programmer in this case; I'm also a user and I believe strongly in where this is heading.

Photography & the Graphic Arts

I have always enjoyed photography & videography (both film and digital) and am self-taught in Photoshop, Illustrator, Final Cut, and AfterEffects. This interest helped to spark the desire to start an aerial photography company in college. My acquired skills aided me in the creation of brochures, marketing kits, promotional videos, and other materials for R/C HeliCam and other companies.

Aircraft & Flying (Full scale and Remote Control)

One of my earliest memories as a boy is watching an ultra-light pilot buzz the beach waving to everyone in a colorful aircraft that he constructed. From that day on I have always wanted to be a pilot. I completed my ground classes with a division of the Boy Scouts in high school and took flying lessons as soon as I could afford it. In the meantime I was building and flying remote control airplanes and helicopters that eventually lead to the company I started in college. Flying gives me a sense of freedom and takes me to places that not everyone gets to see while instilling a sense of responsibility and self-control.

Technology Simplification

When I was in high school I gave lessons to people who wanted to learn how to use their computers. I made the process of using a computer easier for my students to understand but as time went on I realized that it was still unnecessarily complicated. Apple has done an excellent job of putting high-technology into devices that everyone automatically knows how to use. An iPad and iPhone don't ship with manuals on how to use them, people just know. I try to take that philosophy with me in various walks of life, especially when it comes to making thing everyone should be able to use without the need for extensive training.
