Cut my teeth on Assembler and BASIC. C was not yet popular. Bookstores and Newspapers were the internet. Apple, Oracle, and Microsoft were fledgling companies. Cable, satellite dishes, and the internet did not exist in the form we all know. Cell phones? The closest thing was amateur duplex radio.

Cobal, RPG, Fortran, and BASIC were the languages taught in the colleges and you had to go to a specific college to learn those. I'm generally self taught with lots of on the job training. My main background is in Computer Science, Electronics, and Electrical. Yes Electronics and Electrical are different.

I've used numerous programming languages over the years not all listed here: Assembler, BASIC (numerous dialects), C, C++, HyperCard (and variants) Pascal, Java, Microsoft*, Oracle, Shells(numerous), Python, REBOL. Current goto languages (XOJO, Livecode).

Work history consists of Broadcast, Manufacturing, Sales, Service, and of course programming.

I like robotics, automation, new science, new technology and always will. Can not afford a Tesla but would buy several if I could. Can not afford robots nor do I have the time to build them, but I would if I could. Never finished my flying lessons but would love to do that someday as well.

Since 1999 I've been working as a Microsoft SQL Server administrator. I don't ever see myself moving.

Married once, still married, one beautiful daughter.
