Nope, this guy was from San Diego. He had many other pearls of wisdom. My favorite was when he designed a system that would dynamically load an EJB bean implementation at run-time. He wasn't using delegates or proxies or anything coded, he wanted to use deployment descriptors. That was a fun one to peer review.
