About the Author

I am 67 years old and retired. I graduated from a military high school in Georgia as an honor graduate. I then got a degree from college in Mathematics. I served as a Lieutenant in the US Navy during the Viet Nam war and was a computer programming instructor in anti-submarine warfare systems. I spent my 40 year career as a software developer and manager of software developers. Retired, I spent my time writing poetry, writing Pirkle Reports for our local paper, playing the piano and tinkering with my 1973 Porche 914 which I have restored to running condition.

I have travelled all over the world, met many kinds of people, experienced many cultures and learned many things.
