Tech by trade. Pilot, runner, dog dad by choice.

Instrument-rated private pilot, technology lifer, and Diesel's biggest fan. Here's what I've been up to.

Hi! Thanks for stopping by. This is one of several sites I maintain, but this one is dedicated to any number of hobbies...and of course, my four-legged best friend--Diesel! I hope you enjoy our work!

Technology

My favorite hobby also happens to be my field of work--technology. As expensive a hobby it is, it has been very rewarding!

✈

Flying

I am a licensed (certificated) private pilot. More specifically, I am licensed to fly single-engine land aircraft; I am also instrument rated. Although flying is a hobby, it's an infrequent hobby. Aside from being quite expensive, I was "grounded" for a bit of time, as I was too busy to go through the required FAA medical procedure.

Fitness

In order of preference: Running, Biking, weight training. My physique is thin and lanky. So, it would seem that I do better with cardio sports (running & biking)!

Food for Thought

Here are a couple of quotations that match my own philosophy quite closely.

// fate

Fate

Do not be overawed when a man grows rich, when the splendor of his house increases; for he will take nothing with him when he dies, his splendor will not descend with him. Though while he lived he counted himself blessed–and men praise you when you prosper–he will join the generation of his fathers, who will never see the light. A man who has riches without understanding is like the beasts that perish.
— Psalm 49:13-20

Karma

The self-controlled person, moving among objects, with his senses free from attachment and malevolence and brought under his own control, attains tranquility.
— Bhagavad Gita II.64
