In 1973 I started a small computer training course for the San Diego Community College District.  We began with programmable calculators and graduated to microcomputers when they were invented.  We had a very successful job training program in data entry as part of this program.  I taught full time with the District until 1979 and part time until 1983 when I moved East.

Starting in 1979 I worked for several defense contractors primarily on US Navy projects.  In one week, I used as many as 13 different computer systems.  This experience has given me a very good general computer background.  I feel comfortable working with PC's, minicomputers and mainframes.

In 1973, I opened C*C SYSTEMS & SOFTWARE  with the cooperation of Wang Laboratories for whom I did contract programming.  The business was a part time venture that satisfied the State of California requirement for vocational teaching certification.  After returning from Desert Storm service, I began full time consulting under this business name.

My Naval Reserve career has had many interesting facets.  I am a Hospital Corpsman who has spent 16 years with Marine Corps units.  Being a Hospital Corpsman has taught me to be resourceful and inventive while remaining calm in emergency situations.  Being with the US Marines has taught me to overcome the odds by persistence and ingenuity.

My personal interests tend towards music and dance.  I teach Scottish Country Dancing and perform with several groups in New York City.  I sing with the Oratorio Society of New York which gives three concerts at Carnegie Hall each year.  I have served as an officer for my church and in several non-profit groups.  In my "spare" time I read science fiction.
