The purpose of this page is to efficiently introduce myself. After being relatively unchanged for several years, I am cleaning up some dead links, tweaking colors and making the text less chatty on this page. Also creating a new web site for my genealogy stuff, etc. Not responsible for nightmares, headaches and eye strain from experimental color changes. View at your own risk!

- It may look as though I LIKE to go to school, but I've just taken continual professional and personal improvement seriously as a way to improve my life and career (when I had one!). I retrained myself three times to adjust to changing economic factors, to maintain my economic viability and to be able to dine on the better brands of cat and dog food in retirement. My roots are blue collar and I worked my way through every single day of school without incurring any debt. Every male member of my family, myself included, has been a member of a labor union (Teamsters, UAW, Boilermakers, IBEW, Steelworkers) and I still will not cross a picket line, but to get where I wanted to go, I needed college degrees.

- I retired several years ago and worked in various technical fields for most of my "career" (biomedical and aerospace electronics R&D, computer hardware and software, etc.), spending the last 20ish years of my work life doing Unix/Linux server level administration and security, information security and information security risk management for a Fortune 50 company.
- I dropped all social media when I retired; FaceBook, LinkedIn, etc.
