Welcome

You might call me a serial entrepreneur since I started, ran and sold 4 high-tech companies since 1988. I sold my last company to Xythos and then worked there for 3 years before retiring in April 2005. Now I am returning to my first love—programming.

I have been working on a web site for my son’s baseball club and created a registration system using Ruby on Rails. It is always hard to learn a new language AND a new framework, but it is a testament to RoR that I was able to accomplish so much in a short time.

I also turned the Tri-Cities Baseball site into a RoR Wiki that uses the Textile markup language. Then, I used the same technique to turn this web site into a Wiki.

My latest project was to incorporate a Google Map mashup and Flickr mashup.

Another activity that has been keeping me busy is helping startups. I really enjoy this because I like working with people and being able to share what I have learned over the last 20 years.

Oh, and I have been playing too, surfing as much as I can as well as mountain bike riding, and just hanging out with my family.

Other Max Dunn's

It turns out that there are quite a few other Max Dunn's around the world, but I was the lucky one to register the domain name  first. If your name is Max Dunn too and you would like to be included on this page, contact me and I will add you to the list.
