I've been fighting an everyday battle with RP since I was diagnosed in 1987 after complaining about it to my parents for a couple of years. RP (Retinitis Pigmentosis) is an incurable eye disease that damages the retina gradually over the years. However, I don't let that stop me.

When I'm not working too hard, I enjoy time with my wife and 3 kids. I also do a lot of photography as a hobby, and you can see some of my photos here (go to the "Public" photos).
