Was born in 1942. Got into IT in the mid '60s as an operator later advancing through programmer, analyst, project leader, manager, IT director and retired as CIO/CTO.

Interests: Hobbies include: reading, writing, woodworking, gardening, and web surfing. Recently I've jumped into web development.
Skills: Very few. I haven't written code in a very long time, and that was COBOL/PL1/BAL with a smattering of BASIC and Fortran in college. I'm learning HTML, CSS, Javascript, php, and SQL and the tools used with them: VS Code, SSMS, etc. It's drinking from a firehose and I'm getting soaked.
