My name is MJ Hufford.  Growing up, I was convinced that I’d be a famous guitarist.  That plan didn’t pan out, so I converted to nerdism.  I was born in Chicago, IL and grew up in Cincinnati, OH.  I’ve also lived in southern California, Idaho, Utah & the “Mountain Momma” state of West Virginia.  I’m currently living with my beautiful wife and four kids in the NW Arkansas area where I’m employed as an IT Manager.  I manage an agile ASP.NET Application Development Team and our local network infrastructure team.

My step-father gets credit for my interest in all things technology.  Our first computer was an Apple II+.  Oh, how I miss “Dig Dug”.   Collecovision and Nintendo shortly followed along with a few flavors of computers.  We had a beautiful, green screened IBM and another Apple – I think it was a IIe.  In 1995, we had the coveted Gateway 133 with Windows 95!  *Dramatic pause*

Nowadays, I work on a MacBook Pro and use BootCamp to dual-boot between Snow Leopard and Windows 7.  I also have an iMac that I use at the house for general computer and home recording.  I use a home brew HTPC running MediaCenter on Windows 7 and it’s incredible.  I spend a lot of my time in .NET development.   Thanks for stopping by!
