About

This site is Bruce Rick's only personal site (that's me).  Anyway, my goal is to discuss anything that I feel like and hopefully help people out with some things down the road.

Work

I've been working as a web developer since the mid-90's, back when Mosaic was basically the only real browser.  I've programmed in just about every language that exists and did exist, worked with many different programs and web packages, and most database systems out there.  Basically, if I don't know it, I can figure it out.  All languages are about the same, and any decent program is similar to others because they try to design according to general users intuition.  If you ever need anything designed, don't feel scared to asked, I may be able to help you a bit :)

Politics

I'd like to start by saying I'm a Republican.  I grew up as a Democrat, and realized over time, as did my father, that most of our beliefs seemed to fall more towards the Republican party.  I was still voting Democratic when Bush and Kerry were running for presidency but soon after that election I started to realized that I was just voting Democratic because that was the way I grew up.  As I started studying things, especially tax reforms, immigration issues, welfare and many other areas, I realized my beliefs were much more to the right side than to the left.

Religion

Born a Lutheran, I went to school most of my childhood in a Lutheran school.  Once I was out of the house and moved on to College, I fell away from church all together.  I was removed from the Lutheran church for not sending money and I was angry for that (that was actually during the time when my family was sending me to a Lutheran High School and were paying to the church as well).  After I got married, my wife wanted to go to church so we bounced in and out of many different churches, never feeling like we were at home.

Finally we came to Fowlerville First United Methodist Church with Pastor Tom :)  This church feels like home and we are now very proud Methodists.  I have found through the years your denomination doesn't really matter as much as the fact that you believe in Jesus and you try the best you can to follow God's word.
