I started with Writing.com when it was Stories.com. For 11.5yrs I was an Automation Systems and Document Control expert with the Intel Corp. Prior to that, I served my country in the US Air Force for 10yrs as a Comm/Nav and Computers tech; in 1990 as SysOp of a BBS overseas I helped bring a young internet to the Pacific region. These careers stimulated my imagination filling me with life experience that exposed me to fascinating people, exotic places, and diverse cultures, faith and technology.
