Watch this space in the coming weeks. I am planning to update the design and content slightly while I have free time over the Christmas week.

By the way, it’s not “Make America Great Again,” it’s make Trump rich again. Trump was a terrible president; he had no idea what he was doing and didn’t care.

Failed Author

After over forty years of IT-related work, I'm now semi-retired and living in Europe, writing & riding with the local cycling club.

6,755

Kilometers of road cycling year to date

I have a goal this year to ride 8,000 kilometers. So far, I'm ahead of pace, but not by a large amount. I have enough play that I can take a rest day if I need to.

26

Years active duty service

I joined as a Computer Operator, working everything from Mainframes, Mini computers, small computers, NCC, Base Comm, COMSEC, IA, and project management.

The number of books written to date

I've been working on a book for almost three decades now. I've been told that I should have other priorities, so I doubt it will ever be finished.

Life is too short to sit inside and play on the computer all day

Don't get me wrong, I'm a computer guy and I like it. But when the weather is nice (rare), I love to take advantage and ride outdoors.

IT-Related Stuff

I started programming in 1979, and I've worked with IT for over forty years. I have experience in various fields, from mainframe computers, minicomputers, UNIX System Administration, Oracle database administration, COMSEC, Information Assurance, Solaris System Administration, Network Security, and Program and Project Management.

Cycling

I'm working part-time at the Giant-Wegberg bike shop as a mechanic. I've biked in Europe since 2002. In 2015 I joined the Air Force Cycling Team and rode with them until my retirement in 2018. I currently ride with my local German radsport club, SC-Wegberg. I'm training and planning to ride the Scottish North Coast 500 in 2024.
