I grew up with New Wave and Friday Night Videos as the soundtrack to my teen years. My first computer was a Commodore 64 that I bought with money I earned from Sea Cadet camp. I was a geek when it wasn’t cool, tapped into an international FidoNet and an Internet no one knew about at 1200 baud. My Mom was a Navy Wife; my Dad was an Officer and a gentleman. I stole my Dad’s National Geographic and Popular Science magazines. My Mom gave me her wisdom, patience and and enough rope. The Berlin Wall fell during my first try at University. I served during the Persian Gulf War as the first shocks of the New World Order started rippling outwards. I was married, had a wonderful son, and divorced. I’ve gotten remarried, to an amazing friend and bright light in my world. I’m into Steampunk, the Society for Creative Anachronism, table-top Role-Playing Games, and MMORPG gaming. Hal-Con, WolfCon, NovaCon, ConSeption, DraCONis, Steamcon. I’m a 30-mumbleyear IT professional that started with NetWare. I ran my own consulting company for a decade. I’m an author, writing people-positive action-adventures and romantic fiction. I’ve been around the world in 180 days. I’m thinking about building an Earthship. I still fight with swords. I’m a bit complicated, a bit hard-nosed and a bit soft-hearted. My friends are my awesome.view less
