Who am I? Well, that's a good question. Some folks who have been long-time customers of Chattanooga Online / Higher Technology Services may remember me from my days in Tech Support here. Of course that's been a loooong time ago. I still remember those days fondly.

Before we go any further, I'd like to invite you to visit my Blog  and let me know what you think.

Now, a bit more about myself... I was born one day back in sunny San Diego, California. When I was about 12, my folks moved out here and brought me and my older sister out here with them. I finished elementary school here and went to high school in the area as well. After I graduated from high school, I made my way to college. After fumbling around for awhile, I decided on a career in broadcasting and graduated with a degree in it. I got off to a bit of a rocky start and after a few years, I had a chance to change careers and started working in IT at Chattanooga Online. Here's a picture of me from those days..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Those of you who know me, probably know my appearance hasn't changed a whole lot since then. :-)

 

 
 
My Interests
I like to think of myself as a "Renaissance Man" -- that is I have a variety of interests. I enjoy watching TV, I enjoy hiking (although I haven't done any hiking in a long time), I enjoy reading (especially Science & Technology news, as well as Science Fiction / Fantasy when I have time.) I also like spending time with my "boys" (my two cats) and most of all, spending time with my wife! (can't forget the wife!)
 
Unfortunately, we don't have cable or satellite, so we're limited to what channels we get, but mostly we watch Fox. Our top three shows are House, Bones and Standoff. All three are well-written shows, and in my humble opinion, have well-written story lines and plots.

This is a fictitious ISP in Canada. No COL is not like this. This is a slight exaggeration of what it's like to work at an ISP
Think Bloom County meets the internet!
