Dave Wood is a Java architect with the Sun Java Center in Denver, Colorado, where he has helped design and implement Java solutions for customers around the world. His B.S. and M.S. degrees are in computer science from the University of Colorado. He has been involved in object-oriented design and development his entire career, and has been obsessed with Java since its early days. When he's not in front of a keyboard, Dave enjoys taking advantage of the beautiful Colorado scenery by camping, kayaking (just lakes...not whitewater), or hiking the Colorado 14ers (the 54 mountains over 14,000 feet, for all you flatlanders). He also enjoys playing chess and spending time with his wife, Shannon (the "real" architect of the family), and two cats, Pussin and Toast.
