Hello
Welcome to my home page. I'm very glad that you are here . . . and I hope that you'll stick around long enough to get to know just a little bit more about me and my life. After all, these days, acquaintances that begin in cyberspace are often the most real, vivid, and long-lasting !
Let's start with a picture of me at the 1996 ComNet convention in Washington, DC.
The only difference between this picture and now
is the color of my hair . . .
My Background ...
I was born in a small northern West Virginia town,
but don't let my
"hillbilly" smile fool you. I grew up both in the
midst
of the Vietnam War and the social revolution. Which has nothing to
do with the fact that I fell in love with electronics and computers
and work to promote the growth of both of these things.
What I do ...
I work all day on computers and networks
and when I get home,
I work all evening with a computer and a network!
This doesn't make my family real happy
but it is a way to keep up with the changing technologies !
I am working on this Internet at 768 KB thru the
use
of an ADSL connection
This connection has been up for several months now
and the speed is incredible.
Look at what ADSL can do for you !
I am still raising my family of 2 girls, a dog and
3 cats
and plan a lot of activities around them.
Here are some pictures of my girls:

Another way to really get to know someone -
especially someone who spends
as much time on the Internet as I do - is to learn their favorite
sites:
