I am originally from the Cleveland Ohio area. I grew up in Maple Heights, Ohio and graduated from Maple Heights High School in 1977. Shortly after graduation we moved to the Brecksville/Broadview Heights area.

I had a short stint at Cuyahoga Community College, Parma campus. I then received and associates degree in Electronic Technology from Lakeland Community College located in Mentor Ohio in 1981. I received an undergraduate degree in Electronic Technology from Cleveland State University Fenn College of Engineering in 1985. I finished my Masters in Computer and Information Science from Cleveland State University in December of 1994.

My wife Shirley and I had job opportunities here at the University Of North Carolina so we took them and moved here in August 1995. Mostly to get out of that lousy Cleveland weather. If anyone recognizes me from the above info feel free to drop me a line.
