I live near Phoenix, Arizona and enjoy Thursday morning breakfast at Denny's with the 'old guys', playing guitar in our weekly Country-Bluegrass jams and being involved in our Homeowners Association Board of Directors.


Obviously I have an abiding interest in family history, but I am also interested in website programming using PHP and MySQL.


I've abandoned my desktop genealogy program in favor of using TNG exclusively. It is perfect for managing input from multiple contributors, and is more flexible than any other program out there in terms of manipulating large amounts of data and producing useful reports.
