About Me
I have been married to my wonderful wife Patty for 29+ years. We have two sons and we are blessed with four lively grandsons. I have been involved in the computer industry in numerous ways since the days of paper tape and punch cards. I have always considered myself a jack of all trades/handyman. Until I became wheelchair bound, I enjoyed anything that involved working with our horses, which included the ugliest of barn chores (mucking... the removal of manure).
