In my day job, I write and edit material for a customer support website. I've written two books on a network security product and blog daily on many different subjects, including mobile technology, gadgets, and VoIP. My primary goal in my writing is to make sense of these and other complex topics. I live in Gig Harbor, WA, USA with my wife and two beautiful children. They keep me grounded and focused on the important things in life, even if I spend way too much time blogging! Contact me directly at: dwelch AT phoneboy DOT com
