About me:

I was born and generally was raised in Shreveport, LA. There were a few interruptions, though. My father's enlistment in the US Army in the mid 50's took us to Fort Hood, TX for a short while. Later my mother's re-marriage took us to Many, LA in the early 60's for another short period.

I joined the Army in 1965. Served 25 years in Louisiana, Texas, California, Germany, Vietnam, Alaska, and Kansas.

I realized my interest in computers in 1985 and never looked back. My interest in computers led me to several degrees in computer science and business. I was amazed at the vistas and structure education brought me. Wanting to pay the system back, I became an adjunct instructor for several Universities, University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, Tarleton State University, and Central Texas College.

Who I'd like to meet:

I'd be interested in meeting any person with the same interests, but particularly any Vietnam Veteran or anyone residing in Central America.
