View my Resume. View my dive log. View my wonderful new little Son, Veikko John Eskelin.

I run a company in New York City that sells distributed computing software, and spend as much time as possible in the Florida Keys chilling out and doing as much scuba diving as possible. I've logged over a hundred dives. Also, I attend Columbia University in New York City part-time, and am currently working on getting my private pilot's license. Not to mention trying to finish the manuscript for my book (listed below)!

The home that I own in Key West, which I have named Lizard Farm (shown left), is located on the mangrove-lined waterfront facing the Gulf of Mexico in Roosevelt Annex. It has 3 beds, 3 baths, a small pool and two coconut trees in the back yard, and two decks for viewing the incredible daily sunset.
