Some people might ask what Buffalo Eagle means. Well, it comes from two separate things. First, I wanted to purchase a domain name that was out of the ordinary and that was not my name (which was already taken). So I chose Buffalo Eagle. I was born in Buffalo, NY and all "Buffalonians" know of a shorter way to write Buffalo... "Bflo". The Eagle comes from the fact that I am an Eagle Scout. I'll explain more about that below...

Born in Buffalo New York, my parents shortly moved to Bealeton, VA where I was raised. After having a brother and spending seven years there, my parents decided to move back to Buffalo so my brother and I would be more closely involved with our extended family...

That's where my life started to take shape. During the first few years back, the loves of my life began to develop. Scouting quickly found a place in my day-to-day activities. I met a bunch of friends, learned some pretty awesome skills, and developed some lifelong values. The culmination of my Scouting career happened when I obtained the rank of Eagle Scout back on September 10, 1998. It was a very nice feeling to have finally finished something that took more than seven years to complete.

Computers ended up becoming the other hobby in my life. My Father first introduced me to computers back when the Comodore 64 was around (and popular). It was not until third grade that I became very serious and built a 486 system of my own. From here, everything went uphill. I learned more from my Father and mimicked him in a lot of the computer decisions until one day, I started to keep up with technology as it rolled out, as he had been doing since he entered the computer realm. From there, I just kept going. I taught myself a lots of things. I had successes and failures with new hardware and software. You know, the usual for almost any geek out there... :)

Overall computers just happened to develop more into a career than the Scouting did, though I value and held dear to my heart all the memories I gained from Scouting.

I am a Computer Engineering graduate of the University at Buffalo. I would have never dreamed the little computer projects I did back in grammar school would bend me on a life towards advanced circuits and logic.

Outside of school, computers still play a big part in my life. I'm an avid Linux user as well as small time programmer and web designer. I've done lots of work in Java (mostly in school) and a decent amount of work in Macromedia Flash, Dreamweaver, and Fireworks. If you want to know all the things that I have dabbled in, check out my resume...

Either way, Scouting and Computers both molded me into the person I am today. If you want to find out more about me and/or what I do, check out the other areas of my website. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to email me...

Not to forget another important thing in my life, I am married to the most beautiful woman I have ever met. Jen and I tied the knot on July 31, 2004 in beautiful Lancaster, NY. Check out her site and say Hi!

Jen and I have had our first son in June of 2005. Alex weighed in at 5lbs 8oz and was a month early but everything went smoothly even though nothing went as planned. =) Alex is growing up to be one very cute baby and we have become some pretty proud parents!

Enjoy your stay!!!
