Hi! I'm Bob Monsour.

Brooklyn-born, New Jersey-raised, and educated in Florida and Los Angeles, I'm now retired and living in Northern California with my wonderful wife and artist, Sandra, and our Portuguese Water Dog, Soda. Our son is out on his own and lives in Los Angeles.

We travel occasionally and I enjoy reading and trying to stay fit. I'm also having fun being a part of the community of web developers who make and use the static site generator Eleventy. A big part of that is maintaining a website and newsletter called the 11ty Bundle.

I've had the privilege of working in the technology industry, beginning in the late 70s. I was fortunate to work on a lot of interesting projects with some really great people.

There's a little more about me on the About page. And you can find me at one of the many "iconic" links in the footer.

Lastly, you can search the entire site from the Search page.
