Author Bio

My experience in this subject starts with my minor in Computer Science in college.  I took COBOL, computer architecture, Fortran and some other computer classes, that I can't remember.

My first computer related professional employment was with Texas Instruments as a Customer Service Rep. for their products.

I then moved to being the System Manager for the Dept. of Interior, USGS Marine Geology seismic processing Digital Equipment VAX computers in Menlo Park, CA.

After ten years I then moved to Seattle and became a Systems Manager for Boeing Aircraft on their mainframe VAX systems.  While at Boeing I also managed various other systems such as UNIX CATIA workstations, Digital Equip workstations, HP-UX 9000, H3000 MPE/ix, Sequent Dynix/ptx as well as my share of legacy systems.  I retired from that job after ten years and moved to Hawaii.

I have, or still do program in DOS, Fortran, Vax/DCL, Cobol, HTML, Unix, Javascript and Basic.


I have written many nationally published Computer Science magazine articles as well as a book on what electricity is: for the general public.

I create websites as a hobby and have accumulated a wide variety of different net businesses, self-help and medical support websites.

I now live on the Big Island of Hawaii and when not geeking on the computer,
