I'm a small town Vermont kid who oddly enough spent 30 years working in high-tech, with about 24 of those years spent teaching and doing professional services work in the field of computer performance.I'm good at explaining complex things clearly. I've been a featured speaker at numerous conventions, donated over 15 gallons of blood, written a book, and jumped out of a perfectly good airplane. I'm currently married to my college sweetheart and enjoying a mostly-retired life where I bake my own bread and one day a week it is my great pleasure to give the tour at Ben & Jerry's with some of the finest people I've ever worked with. How sweet is that?I wrote The Every Computer Performance Book to give back what I've been given in my career. I hope it helps you have as much fun and success as I did.
