Introduction I was born in Hawaii where I lived until moving to Vanuatu (the New Hebrides at the time) in 1970. I lived in Vanuatu for 6 years where I only attended school for 3 months at a French Catholic boarding school. My traditional education consisted of reading anything and everything and learning how to type from a 1950's era typing book. I moved back to the US in 1976 and went right into high school (what a shock). In 1980 I moved from Hawaii to the SF Bay Area. I bounced around doing odd jobs until I was 24 when I accidentally fell into IT. I've been an IT geek ever since.
Interests I really enjoy spending time with my family. After that it's taking a good relaxing vacation. I love driving fast cars, playing basketball and being outdoors. Not far behind all of this is my love for working with a team of smart people on almost any opportunity, but especially an IT opportunity.
