Introduction	I host a podcast Remember The 80s I play medium to low stakes internet poker. Biography: Worked as Director of Internet Operations & Technology for the largest real estate company in California for 5 years. I was a Manager of the ColdFusion department for a startup company during the dotcom boom for 3 years before it went belly up. I run my own business for 2 years, setting up networks, database servers, email servers and workstations for companies and individuals. Troubleshooting network problems, repairing down servers and workstations. Installing and upgrading software. I also designed and maintained web sites. Worked for 9 years as a Office Manager for a private real estate attorney in Huntington Beach, California.
Interests	It was a memorable decade... No doubt about it. Do the names John Hughes, Jack Tripper & Duran Duran bring a smile to your face? Do you know what to shout after every line when you hear "Mony Mony?" Know what comes after "the roof, the roof, the roof is on fire?" Many people remember the 80's for events like "Who Shot JR?," Baby Jessica, the boycott of the 1980 Olympics, and the royal wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana. Others recall tragedies such as the explosion of Challenger, Chernobyl, the Iran-Contra Scandal, or the death of Ghandi as the defining moments of the decade. But for many of us, the 80s are also fondly remembered as a time of fun, freedom, and excess everything.
