I work for the College of Charleston, caring for and feeding their Exchange implementation. I'm available for independent part-time consulting, particularly on Microsoft server products like Windows Server, Exchange and Internet Information Server. Here's my resume. I've worked or consulted for a long list of companies doing computer work since 1975:
I've been an Audio-Visual (A/V) Geek since sixth grade. Yes, I was one of the kids that ran the projectors in school. I also setup, operated and repaired the auditorium sound and lighting systems. I owe a debt of gratitude to the late Bill Schroeder, who helped my parents buy a decent stereo system in an age when most people had an all-in-one box. From that, I learned the fundamentals of quality high fidelity sound systems. I am *not* a "Golden Ears", but learned at an early age how to tell good sound from bad. I am passionate about DVD and the digital entertainment revolution.
You'll find links on our books and DVD pages to buy from them. I have a little used Amazon.com partnership, which will give us a small commission if you use the links to buy. Keeping track of our ever-growing media collection is a big challenge. Until recently, I maintained a current list of what DVDs we own and want to own using DVD Profiler. Click here to see the list. I have since committed to the programs of Collectorz.com. They have software to catalog music, movies, books, games, and even comic books. I decided to use their movies program because it allows inclusion of multiple media types - not just DVD, but VHS tapes (we're slowly phasing these out), Blu-Ray, DivX and whatever else. The same flexibility holds true for the other programs. I'm interested in:
I've been married for more than 22 years to Laura. I'm a 1989 graduate of Ursinus College, with a Bachelor of Business Administration, Management concentration, degree (cum laude). I was not a traditional student, finishing my degree over a 10 year period, mostly at night. I simply preferred earning money with computers over the impoverished life of a full-time student! I attended some other excellent schools along the way:
A debt of gratitude is owed to Carl Hostnik, a retired math teacher at GRHS, who was instrumental in allowing me complete access for four years starting in 1975 to the school's DEC PDP 8/m minicomputer. Thanks to that, I learned computers from the ground up, including hardware, operating systems, and programming. No matter how dizzying the changes seem to be lately, the concepts are still fundamentally the same! Revised 03/04/2009 |
