Hello, my name is Matthew Toombs and the Toombs Realm is my personal home on the Internet. It's my place to share things that interesting me with my friends and family. I hope you enjoy the site as much as I've enjoyed putting it together.

Where am I from?
I always get stumped when someone ask me where I'm from. Here's why:
I was born in Michigan in the mid '60s, but quickly moved to Florida where I completed most of my grade school years. After Florida, I moved to Ohio, but only for 7 months. Then it was off to Conneticut where I finished junior high. Next, New Jersey and the high school years. After about one year of community college, my family and I moved to Kentucky. I attended the University of Louisville, met my wife, started working full time as a computer technician. Shortly after my 2nd daughter was born, I moved my new family to Arkansas to manage a computer store. About 3 years ago, the company I ended up working for moved me and my family to Florida. So, I've come pretty much full circle!

A bit more about me:
I'm married to a fantastic (and very patient) wife whom I love without measure! We have to two daughters. As a result I have very little hair left on my head... and what I have is turning grey!

I am employed as a Developer/Programmer for the purchasing department of a major Title Insurance company. I develop/write/maintain the windows and web applications that our employees use to purchase everything from office supplies to Computer equipment. I love my job and the people I work with are not only co-workers, but good friends.

What I like:

• Building plastic models: Mostly sci-fi or airplanes. This was my first hobby as a kid.
• 3D CGI Modeling and Animation: I love building 3D models of things with the computer.
• R/C Airplanes: My best friend got me started on this, so much fun! I'd like to try Helicopters some time soon.
• Motorcycles: I love riding my Kawasaki Vulcan. I'm so sad that's it broke right now. :(
• MINI Cooper S: My favorite little car! I love the classics and love my 2004 Electric Blue
• Programing: Started with HTML and PHP, fell in love with ASP.net and C#
