About


I am a 27-year old computer programmer from North Yarmouth, Maine. I am happily married to Hop Nguyen, a lovely 29-year old woman originally from Vietnam but now, with me, happily resident in Maine. We live in a small cottage here with three cats.

I pay my rent and bills by freelancing as a web software developer. Most of my practice is focused on developing custom themes and modules for the PostNuke content management system. I am fortunate to have several excellent clients near me in Maine, but I am also currently privileged to serve as the web developer for the New York Musical Theatre Festival. If you'd like to know more about my clientel or to find out what I can do for you as a web programmer, please visit the Programming section.

With my co-lyricist Rob Seitelman I have, since 2002, been creating a music-theatre adaptation of John Milton's classic poem Paradise Lost. We produced a full Equity Showcase of our most recent draft at the Producer's Club in Manhattan in January, February and March of 2006; we intend to visit New York again with a new draft this fall.

When I'm not writing web software or music, I enjoy games of various sorts, gardening, hiking with my wife and home improvement.

This site is built on top of the PostNuke content management system, but uses several of my own custom modules to enhance its page delivery. Find out more here.
