Personal Quote:

Use to say 'I work at two speeds, and if you don't like this speed, I know for sure you're not going to like my other speed.' Now, I just have one speed.

Hobbies:

Gardneing and work in yard, swimming, and golfing (hacking)

News:

Married to my wife, Kathy for 44+ years. Three daughters, Monica (40) and Erin (38) and Molly (46). Spent 1970's going to night school for undergraduate and graduate degrees, and working at Woodville State Hospital (no, not as a patient). In 1978 I joined Burrough's Corporation (Unisys) and spent 18 years with them under many roles, primarily as a computer hardware and software consultant. Left in 1995 and have been self-employed for most of the last 10 years. Joined Harmon Solutions Group out of Eau Claire Wisconsin, work from home in DeLand.

My wife, Kathy, was an RN in home health nursing for 30 years, and retired 7 years ago due to progressively deteriorating complications from childhood polio.

We designed and built what we hoped to be our retirement home in 1997 in DeLand Florida (35 miles from Daytona Beach).
