LIFE AND TIMES
It would be safe to say that since 1965, I have invested at least 80,000 hours in the pursuit of computing. Eight years have been spent in the University environment. Paid Data Processing work experiences cover: business; engineering; education; health care; manufacturing; systems design; and hardware / software integration.
Generally, I have been called on to work on projects, to include: analysis; design; programming; and implementation. My services are user oriented with experience in both pre and post sales of hardware and software. I am a creative thinker/problem solver and seek situations which make use of these talents and offer opportunity for reward.
EDUCATION
Graduate School, Ball State University, Computer Science, 35 hrs. 3.4 gpa.
BA Degree, Taylor University, Upland IN, Religion, Philosophy, and Computer Science.
PERSONAL
I am 66 years young, like to keep up on the world, interested in nature, gardening, coin collecting, antiques, love the ocean and sunshine, enjoy oil painting, stained glass,
and like to travel and explore.
