I'm a developer who loves to tinker. I sold my first software program in 1991 and have been immersed in software ever since. My time is split between process coaching and coding.

I've authored and coauthored a number of books, including the best selling Ship It! A Practical Guide to Successful Software Projects and Career 2.0: Take Control of Your Life.
