About
Four decades of engineering and regulated practice, distilled into books.
I began building business software in 1980, when reliability, resource constraints, and operational discipline were not optional. That foundation carried through 14 years at Orlando Utilities Commission and more than 17 years at Oracle Corporation.
At Oracle, I worked as a Principal Software Engineer on the intersection of Oracle E-Business Suite, Microsoft Windows, enterprise deployment, customer escalation, and platform engineering.
Alongside the technology career, I built an active professional practice: I prepare taxes, serve as a notary public, hold a Medicare agent license, and earned an MBA. That work keeps my writing grounded in real client files, real deadlines, and real regulatory obligations.
Today I write and publish across four book series — professional tax prep, notary services, The Wealth Peer, and TTP — while continuing to design systems that remain traceable, reviewable, and defensible.
My operating principle
The goal is not activity for its own sake. The goal is useful work product — a return, a notarization, a retirement decision, a system — with control, accountability, and evidence.
