Middle child and oldest son in a family
of five kids - I am part of the post WWII "baby boomer" generation. The returning
GI's spearheaded the 'flight' from cities and farms to the newly created 'suburbs'.
Row upon row of tract-housing sprang up overnight to meet the demand.
I grew up in one of these 'suburbs' which is located just outside Kansas City Missouri
in a small town named Independence Missouri. Jesse James spent a night in
jail there and the town produced one of our more esteemed Presidents, Harry S Truman.
I attended St. Mary's grade school and also went to church there- raised as a Roman Catholic. I attended Palmer junior high and high school at
William Chrisman, Truman, and Raytown.
I've always carried a deep love of science .. this translated to a job working for
Hallmark Cards in their Data Processing department. I studied computer sciences
in college and continued training four years in the Navy. I
feel lucky that I've
been able to do something, which I enjoy so thoroughly, for the last forty years.
I'm currently working for Sprint Nextel in Overland Park Kansas, still writting
programms and developing web applications for the various NTAC (network) groups
within Sprint. Click to view full professional experience.
