Biography

I am a former US Marine who served with the the 1st Marine Division and the 1st Marine Air Wing as well as other assignments in the late 60's through the early 80's. I am currently a computer science instructor at a local college teaching software engineering, database design, computer security and computer literacy. My first textbook on computer literacy will be published this Fall. I am old enough to retire but enjoy teaching so I will continue on for another year or so or until the college puts me out to pasture. In retirement I am looking for something to exercise my brain other than reading computer science books and was always interested in amateur radio, so I got my ticket last year. Radio certainly exercises the brain, I find the science fascinating and hope to bring my computer knowledge into the science of radio.
