## BIO
I have been programming computers since I was 7 years old with my first Commodore VIC-20. I traversed the Commodore line, learning a great deal about structured programming (in an unstructured environment) and into the PC world.
In 1992 I graduated from Pittsburgh's Computer Tech with an accredited associate degree in Computer Information Management. My GPA was 4.0 for the entire two-year program.
I then took up jobs with small firms, working on intergration between custom software and standard accounting packages. I learned a great deal about standard accounting practices, common business practices, and more.
Later, I moved into consulting for Microsoft languages, and wrote many interesting applications for various companies. After the Y2K boom, I settled back into working in an in-house development department for a major insurance company where I currently remain.
