Charles in his kilt

Welcome to my web site. I am the Senior Software Architect for Strategy Software, Inc.. I design and develop web-enabled software that allows our clients to collect, analyze and managing Competitive Intelligence data. 

I've been professionaly programming web applications for over 10 years now. I was first introduced to computers by my father around 1977. He brought home a computer terminal from Boeing and we used it to connect to the Boeing mainframe.

It was on the Boeing mainframe, at the age of 9 (from our home), that I developed my first computer program. My father was teaching a BASIC programming class to Boeing Engineers at the time. He gave me one of their assignments. The assignment was to print a large Z (ASCII art) using for/next loops. I had it done in 10 minutes, and the rest is history.

Also, if you haven't figured it out yet, I am proud of my Scottish heritage. I also love movies, and I have an extensive DVD collection (link on nav-bar).

But I have to say what I love most in this world are my two lovely neices. I'm so proud of them!
