At the left, are two pictures of me, the Webmaster of The Breathless Moon.  The fairly grainy, but a bit older picture of me, was taken a few years ago at the computer where I spend many evenings.  Taken by my "cheesy" 3-In-1 pen-cam, I am probably working on sound files or a web page.  The picture below is a more recent picture where I am sporting a full beard.  (Eh, I do not know if I will keep the beard at this time, but either way, the moustache stays!)

I have been interested my family's history for many years, often recalling fond memories of my grandmother who would tell stories she fondly remembered about our family history and ancestors.  Though she wrote very little down, bits and pieces were tucked safely away for me to later explore.  In time, I became the family historian and took on the task of trying to preserve what I knew and rediscovered, through diligent efforts, what was lost to time.

Computers fascinate me.  I began tinkering with the building blocks of computers back in the latter 1970s.  Today, I am amazed at what computers can accomplish and how they have become an integral part of our lives.  Teaching myself computer skills, I learned how to design web pages and build websites on my own.  In creating The Breathless Moon, I wanted to share what I discovered about my family ancestry with everyone through this website.  But what can I say about myself?

I do not consider myself ordinary nor do I consider myself as extraordinary.  Like everyone else, I have a passion for the things I enjoy and treasure greatly.  In the grand scheme of things, I will live out my life like everyone else - for better or for worse.  Along the way, I share my life's experiences with others.  In return, they will share their experiences with me.  In the fullness of time, our lives will be enriched.

When my time comes to depart this world and move on, I hope to leave "a little something" for future generations to remember through the efforts I have assembled here.  Here, it is not my intention to be remembered alone, but rather remembered and cherished as part of family rich in history, tradition and memories.
