My Work...

I started writing software back in the days of Dialup BBS software in 1991 I turned this into TNL Systems and started selling this software. I made about $20 every 6 months.

I spend nearly two years working with some of the brightest minds in business planning at Palo Alto software. Palo Alto Software is the defacto leader in business planning software and resources. Palo Alto has recently started moving into the SaaS (software as a service) sector and the future looks bright there. I still maintain and write software for TNL Total Solutions, although TNL takes on very little, if any most of the time, custom development work.

In 1994 I started with IBM Corporation. Around 1997 I founded TNL Total Solutions and was able to take advantage of the Dot.com boom which was only just beginning. During this time I did work for many fortune 500 companies and was involved in several dot com ventures. I was also owner of a web hosting company during this time and a short lived game hosting company.  TNL Total Solutions is my primary focus these days.

Some of my software includes:

• GroupMAN: Windows List Server Software - http://www.windowslistserver.com
• CaptureMAX Webcam Automation Software - http://www.capturemax.com
• Perl Scripting Tool: Perl Development Environment - http://perlscriptingtool.tnlsoft.com
• TNL-FTP: Free FTP Client for Windows - http://tnlftp.tnlsoft.com
• TNL Atomic Sync - NTP Time Sync For Win32 - http://www.winsite.com/bin/Info?21000000037005
• QuickList: A down & dirty to-do list/organizer - http://files.tnlsoft.com/anonftp/pub/tnlsoft/quicklist_setup.exe
