First, about the goofy pictures....

Before we get down to business, I should probably explain about the pictures.  I create them myself, in excel. Yes they are goofy and possibly not the best fit for a professional website. But it was that or reams of standard stock photos of people working on a computer, people smiling while in a meeting (seriously?!), people engaging in extreme sports, piles of gold coins, “inspirational” photos or something else equally boring. I decided that fun excel pictures would be a much better fit.

And now about me...
