About me

Introduction	I was first introduced to computers in college in 1972. Back then, we punched our computer programs out on cards, toted the cards down to the Computer Building (yikes!!) and handed them to the computer operator who would put our card stack in the huge stack of other programs to be processed that day by the room size main frame computer. We could pick up the results promptly, as long as it was 24 hours later… Nowadays, besides writing computer programs, I also run a school network. This keeps me busy since it includes not only administering the hardware and software, but also helping staff and teachers troubleshoot their computer problems. Additionally, I teach Middle School and High School students how to better use the technology they have (yes, there are a few things the younger generation doesn't know ;)) My goal is to help all students, young and old, to improve their technology understanding and skills.
