ABOUT OUR FAMILY

David works for a small Internet company, TailoredMail, as a software developer. (David escaped from Microsoft in 2000, after more than 10 years there.)

Betsy used to work for Microsoft, too: for her last two years there, she managed a large group of technical writers who produced online documentation for Internet server products. She left Microsoft in 1997, after having spent nine long years there, and is now an (almost) fulltime mom, homemaker, and "kitty mom." Betsy currently works part time as a web designer, webmaster, and contract editor.

Jamie is a junior in high school. He enjoys fencing, archery, writing and theater, and is passionate about Dungeons & Dragons and live-action role-playing games.

Katie is in eighth grade. She sings, writes, and is a budding artist; you can see some of her recent works here.
