For millions of years (inside joke) I've been a computer geek. I started programming at 16 on the early Apple ][+ and Atari 800 personal computers. At 19 I was a U.S. Navy Data Processor working on both mainframes and Zenith desktops. After the service I worked with direct data acquisition, batch programming, Lotus 1-2-3, Access 2, and health physics at the Maine Yankee nuke plant. When the plant closed I completed my comp sci degree and went into Java programming, web development, XSLT programming, and then PHP and SQL software development. Eventually I melded my data and programming skills and started working in the deeply interesting field of data science and business intelligence (BI), which has led me to my current position in a Kentucky suburb of Cincinnati.

My wife and three young'uns were dislocated (from Maine to Kentucky) by my late-career change up, but everyone was onboard with the move into ministry and all have been adapting well to living (once again) in a new place. We have a quiet life, go to church on Sunday, and enjoy walking and our hobbies. Plus, we're big fans of BBN Radio and of Jack Holcomb. I'm also a Miniatures Artisan, creating rooms and furniture in 12th scale.
