Welcome!

My name is Dave Kelley, and no, not that one.  I don’t do TV shows and I’m not married to Michele Phiffer.  I do web sites and software development and some consulting in that area, and I’m married to Linda who is the absolute light of my life.

As the picture shows, I’m a hairy old radio operator.  Although this photo was taken many years ago I am not any better looking given that’s the only direction to go from there.

Basically, I have a dream life.  I love my wife, have two wonderful kids, and two grand boys that I adore!  My job is 4 day work weeks and I get to work two of those from either the home in Chandler near Phoenix or at 6,000 feet in the forest about 12 miles NE of Payson at the base of the Mogollon Rim.  The camera below is out of my office window at Bonita Creek.  And if you look at the far right side of that picture you might see my very own fire truck!  How cool is that!?!?

I have amazingly wonderful supervisors at work and my partner is super smart and loves to solve problems.  That leaves me to do reports, go to meetings, and think up stuff to do for the City.  That would be the City of Tempe.  I’m one of two Webmasters and I’ve been there for 20 years now.

Top-me a few years ago

Bottom-me at 14.  My parents gave me those socks to give me a fighting chance when they had me play on the busy highway!
