I started working on writing my first BBS door in 1998. I had found a door I really liked, but it was unregisterable shareware (a.k.a. nagware), so I started researching what I could do to write my own. I decided to write my door in Turbo Pascal for two reasons: the first was that I was familiar with Pascal having learned it (then) ten years ago in high school and the second was there were lots of doorkits available. With some help from some friends and a lot of re-learning on my part, "The Magic Oracle" came about sometime in the middle of 1998.

From there, I started writing more doors. The next one I wrote was "Chinese Zodiac" which was inspired by a trip to a favorite Chinese restaurant. I've written several others since then and have lost a few to the ravages of time. I also began making available little utilities I wrote in the hopes that someone else would find them useful.

All of my doors and utilities are free for your use. I still am working on my Cheepware stuff even today, a decade after I started (wow, has it really been that long?). I may not always be the fastest or the most creative with my doors, but it seems people enjoy them and that's what keeps me going.

I use Turbo Pascal 7 (RTE200 patched) with the great FKFOSSIL doorkit by Tim Strike, along with my own code and code from other people who have generously helped me out. I use aPack to compress all of the EXEs in my doors. My beta team is made up of Andrew Leary, Gaylen Hintz, Patrick Vittori and Shawn Highfield.
