IT PM & Aspiring Author

After more than forty years doing IT-related work, I'm now semi-retired and enjoying living in Europe and riding with the local cycling club.

4,084

Kilometers of road cycling year to date

I have a goal this year to ride 8,000 kilometers. So far, I'm ahead of pace, but not by a large amount. I have enough play that I can take a rest day if I need to.

The number of books written to date

I've been working on a book for almost three decades now. I hope that since no one seems interested in employing me, I might get the time to finish it.

Life is too short to sit inside and play on the computer all day

Don't get me wrong, I'm a computer guy and I like it. But when the weather is nice (rare), I love to take advantage and ride outdoors.

IT-Related Stuff

I've worked with IT for over forty years. I have worked in a variety of fields, from mainframe computers, minis, UNIX System Administration, Oracle database administration, COMSEC, Information Assurance, Solaris System Administration, Network Security, and Program and Project Management.

Cycling
