: About Me

Every person has a story.  Through writing, I hope to discover my story.

Currently, I am attempting to find balance between my work as a computer instructor/consultant and college student.  I've been blessed to keep working and have learned so much about myself from the people I have served through the years.

While perhaps unusual in the computer industry, I started college avoiding computers. Somewhere in my sophomore year, I exchanged my clarinet for a computer keyboard and my "calling" to make computers useful tools first for myself and for people who weren't born loving computers began and continues today.

Writing is a part of that quest...putting words to work to make something easier or more effective...helping someone understand something through my words-inspires me to continue learning and writing.

My passion is ...

Life, listening, learning.

I know too much about ...

Hockey and Football.

My parents always told me ...

See a need, fill it.

My childhood ambition ...

To write a symphony that musicians of the New York Philharmonic or Boston Symphony would approve of and play for an audience.

My favorite memory ...

Is updated each day-created by family and friends.

Why I write ...

To create a record of my thoughts since my memory is NOT getting any better.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

Listening to an eclectic collection of music.

My first job ...

Babysitting paid for my first radio and lawn mowing paid for my first year of college.

My best moment ...

Hopefully is a LONG way off!

My inspiration ...

My family.
