I have spent over 20 years working as an IT consultant, network engineer, software developer, accounting (ERP) software developer and consultant and of course, trainer. Throughout my career I have communicated the basics and the details of my work to a variety of audiences. I have trained executives, accountants, other engineers and programmers, data entry personnel and a variety of end users, on a variety of subjects.

I love being able to empower others by imparting knowledge that will help them to grow and move into areas they want to move their life into. I have a passion for technology and the possibilities that technology promises for us as we harness its capabilities. I also have a passion for learning, and often will spend time reading and researching on subjects just because I find it interesting.

I love the sciences, in particular astronomy and astrophysics, and the computer sciences. I am fascinated by alternative energy possibilities including electric vehicles and solar energy. I hope to be able to make my contributions in those areas in the near future.

Microsoft Excel

I have been using Excel and other spreadsheets since the advent of personal computers. In addition to using and creating spreadsheets, I have also used excel to create applications for data entry, and gathering and consolidating information submitted by remote users for submission to a centralized database application automatically.

Physics

Physics is the study of the natural world, of matter and energy. My goal in teaching physics is to have the student understand the beauty of what is being discussed, so that he or she develops a natural understanding. From that understanding it becomes easier to reason through the issues, instead of trying to memorize a formula that might apply.

Accounting

I have been training accountants, bookkeepers and other financial personnel on the use of accounting software packages for many years. Before anyone can learn how to use a tool such as a software package, they need to understand what the tool actually does for them. I am very familiar with training people on the actual accounting procedures as well as how to use various financial tools to accomplish them.

Networking (Computer)

I have been involved in computer networking since the days of Novell NetWare 2.x. Early networks were set up with Arcnet (1.5MPS) and Ethernet 10MBPS using Coax cabling. Since taking my first Novell NetWare course, I have followed up with Microsoft Windows based networking (Windows for Workgroups 3.11) and Windows NT based networking, and on through Active Directory based systems. During that time hardware technology also advanced from coax cabling to twisted pair network cabling.

C

I first learned C working for a company that was developing office automation software (spreadsheet/word processor/database/etc, a la MS Office, years early) for the UNIX OS running on a variety of machines like AT&T 3B2 and 3B5 minicomputers. PCs barely existed at the time. The reference used was good old Keornigan & Ritchie! I have used C for a variety of projects, including porting the Korn shell from UNIX to another operating system for an AT&T satellite earth station controller, and controlling... Read More

Computer Programming

Computer programming has been a staple of my professional career. I have had experience with a variety of different languages at numerous levels and types.

At the lowest level, I have had experience developing microcode for a custom processor. Assembly language for several different processors has been used to develop low level hardware interrupt routines and device drivers. I have used the "C" language to develop custom device drivers, firmware for custom hardware controllers, as... Read More

Computer Science

My college degree is a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) from Rutgers University. All my elective classes pertained to computer hardware and software, selected from the Computer Option under the Electrical Engineering curriculum. Every job I have had in my career has revolved around designing, building, testing and debugging computer hardware, software and networking components and systems. The electrical engineering background gives me an even more fundamental insight into... Read More

Microsoft Outlook

I have been using various email packages since the 1980's on UNIX machines running on ARPAnet! Since Windows 95, I have been pretty much using exclusively using Outlook (since it was called exchange!) in all its various versions, right up to Outlook 2010 and OWA with Exchange Server.

I am very familiar with setting up all the parameters need by outlook to establish a reliable consistent connection with most mail servers. I can show users how to use the features in outlook such as folders,... Read More

Microsoft Windows

I have been using, installing and implementing systems under Microsoft Windows since Windows versions 2.x. While the first installation of Windows 2 seemed more like a toy than a useful environment, that all changed after seeing Microsoft Excel. That program changed my expectations of Windows, even though it would be several more years where the rest of the world continued running most under DOS.

Under Windows 2.x, through 3.1, Windows seemed mostly like an elaborate menuing system... Read More

Pascal

Pascal was the second high level, (non-assembler) language that I learned. I remember spending hours reading Jensen and Wirth's Pascal User Manual and Report. Pascal was always talked about as a language that had its compiler written in itself. That was an interesting thought to get your head around!

The funny part about that is that at my first professional job, with Texas Instruments in Houston, my first real project was to write a compiler for a memory test system in ... you guessed... Read More

UNIX

I've been working with UNIX since 1984. My first exposure to it was at a company that was writing an Office Automation suite of products (spreadsheet/database/word processor) for Unix, EONS before Microsoft made Office such a huge product. In retrospect we were so far ahead of the curve. Everything was command line based then, no GUI's to make things pretty.

The best thing about Unix was there are so many utilities built in that allowed you to do small pieces of what you needed to do... Read More
