Hi, and welcome to greenemage.net! My Name is James Olsen (sometimes go by A.J.). I’ve been married to my high school girlfriend Lisa for over nineteen years and a father of two beautiful daughters. I grew up in Santa Cruz, California, and have lived in the Portland, Oregon area for about 7 years.

I spent six years in the US Navy Submarine Service as an electrician, then about 10 years in IT. One of those years was as Desktop Support Manager for the Walt Disney Internet Group, before the company folded it’s operations in Sunnyvale, CA.

After burning out on IT started working as an auto insurance adjuster for Travelers Insurance, where I’ve been for over four years.

I love to read, draw, I love working in PHP and Coldfusion, and I’m a huge fan of science fiction.
