A colleague dubbed me the SOA Wichashita(Chief) a while back so I have been using that nickname ever since. My background is extremely diverse but for the past decade I honed in on the development side of technology primarily in the JAVA programming language.

Over the past serveral years I have gradually moved from the development realm into more of the architecture realm focusing on various aspects of SOA.

Some of my SOA endeavors:

* founding of SOA Communities of Practice
* conference participation domestically and internationally
* participation in enterprise level SOA efforts
* consultation on several SOA projects
* SOA training
* SOA Masters Class online
* SOA/Web 2.0 e-newsletter
