Generate Joy

Photography

STUDIO WORK. LIVE EVENTS.

Photography has always been a part of me. I love capturing moments and working with people who are passionate about what they do. I am available for onsite and studio projects.

Design

SOFTWARE DESIGN. CLOUD APP DEVELOPMENT.

I've been building commercial software and web applications for more than 25 years. I specialize in mobile and web technologies with a strong focus on end user experience.

Music

PLAYING. WRITING. LISTENING.

Music is a universal language. It has the unique ability to move us. As we embrace it, we get emotional currency that connects us to something greater than ourselves.

Creative

Smooth flavor. No calories.

There are moments in the creative process where something unseen flows through you like a rushing stream. You learn to embrace these moments.

This is your day. A beautiful new canvas of possibility. 

What will you create?

May you choose joy in every moment as you discover new ways to paint your masterpiece. May you find happiness with each color you choose and take the moment to experience each layer you add.

May you find your voice with each stroke of the brush. May you gain strength as you contribute the movement and energy to your creation.

There is something I have to get off my chest Google. 

I am a small business owner and entrepreneur that has spent a good part of my life writing a health club management application called FirmPOS. Our website has been on the Internet since 1998.

As an introvert, this is something I have struggled with my entire life. Sitting on the sidelines evaluating the odds of failure, rejection or even someone hurting you. All the while, everyone else has "jumped in".

After a harsh break up with someone I loved dearly, I made a good many adjustments in my life. There were several things I had to do for me and lots of questions that needed answers.

If I were asked to leave a few final words that might be found by another seeker, I would say the number one thing I have learned in this life is to be generous.

Do it big. Do it to the best of your ability. Do it quietly.

Be generous.

Be generous with your time, talents, abilities, resources, energy, forgiveness, mercy, patience and money. Don't wait to be asked for help. Focus on becoming sensitive to the needs around you and then give what you are able. Do it quietly and as anonymously as humanly possible.

I've always wanted to create an Asteroids game where you kill everything for as long as you want. Introducing Blasteroids - Ash's Revenge.

Invincibility. Rapid fire weapons. Force Fields. Black Hole Bombs that drag everything into you. (did I mention everything blows up when it hits you) Nuke IT bombs take everything out. RAMPAGE Mode adds additional ships to help you kill everything. Rampage as much as you like! 

I just broke 6,000,000 on the scoreboard... and there had to be 10,000 asteroids on the screen. It was so much fun going as fast as you can, shooting rapid fire cannons, pulling all the objects into you with a Black Hole Bomb and then hitting NUKE 4 times to clear the screen. Then... more appear. Once you get the controls down, you can use them all at once for maximum damage! Yes please.

(You'll need a pretty fast computer for this one... it's just Javascript :)

When a sweet little melody won't leave you (no matter what you do) - You write a song and try to stick it in someone else's head. lol

So sad to hear of John's passing. He was one of my favorite players since his days in Blue Murder. He was one of the reasons I got my first black Les Paul Custom. I remember the first time I played the Thunder and Lightning record... OMG. Cold Sweat. #ripJohnSykes
