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 cellist, web designer, webmaster, and contract editor. She also homeschools our daughter Katie.

Jamie is a college freshman majoring in horticulture. He enjoys spinning poi and staff, archery, writing, singing, and theater, and is passionate about live-action role-playing games (Dungeons & Dragons, etc).

Katie is in tenth grade and is currently homeschooled. She sings, writes, and is a budding artist; you can see some of her early artwork here. Now Katie maintains her own site on DeviantArt, so her more recent artwork is posted there.
