RubySwissy

My real name is Mitch. My first love is video games which led me to becoming a programmer. I've spent most of my time developing in Linux and iOS. I've yet to program and finish a game. I started programming when I was a sophomore in High School and haven't stopped since.

I grew up in Arizona (Tucson to be exact) but spent most of my life in Phoenix. My jobs have taken me away to many different places but I've recently settled in Massachusetts. I've been here long enough to consider myself a New Englander.

* Playing Video Games of all kinds. I also dabble in Video Game design.
* I love the outdoors and spend time Geocaching here in Massachusetts.
* I love Pokemon, of course. I started with Gen III (Sapphire) and was hooked.
* I own two Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs - Swissies for short. They are both rescues. My favorite is a female named Ruby.
* I collect everything Nintendo. From the original Game Boy to the latest consoles. I also try to collect rare collectible games, mostly Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance.
* Spending time with family and friends. A lot are back in Arizona my visits are mostly FaceTime. The only family I have here is my wife - she doesn't play video games at all.
