About Bob

Why are you reading this? Oh well, since you are, I’ll tell you a bit about myself…

My name is Bob McCune. I’ve been happily married since 1999 and have two amazing little kids ages 6 and 5. Being a parent is an incredibly rewarding and amazing experience. There is really nothing better than to hear your child say “I love you Daddy.”

In my work life I’ve been known to write a line or two of Java code. I’m an independent consultant whose focus is on enterprise software architecture and design, agile development methodologies, and open source tools and technologies. My current favorite OS projects are Spring and Hibernate, but I’m also gaining interest in newer frameworks and tools such as Wicket, Grails, and Ruby on Rails.

I’ve been a long time Mac geek and have finally started to dive in and learn to develop with Cocoa and Objective-C. This has been a fun new challenge and I hope to document my experiences on this blog as I continue along the Mac learning path.

My principal hobby is the guitar. I’ve played for over 20 years. I always assumed I would have a career in music as it was the only passionate interest I had, however, I found the technology field to pay considerably better than the starving musician field. Hopefully I’ll someday figure out a way to combine my love of music and interest in technology into a viable career. Hey, it could happen!

There’s a lot more I could tell you about myself, but I’m sure you started trailing off after the first paragraph. The one thing I can say is that God has, for whatever reason, greatly blessed my life. Thank you Lord.
