How It All Started

It all started when I discovered that my high school offered programming courses. I was immediately intrigued by the potential of coding to solve problems. I knew that I wanted to learn more and that I had a passion for technology. So, I enrolled in a class.

Starting with the Basic programming language in DOS, I was able to grasp the fundamentals of coding. After that, I moved on to C++ and Pascal. By the end of the first year I had a solid understanding of programming and was starting to teach the teacher new things. I knew that this was my calling and that it came naturally to me.

I would spend hours in the back of the book store, reading books and magazines about the languages I was learning; and other languages that interested me, such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

When I was finally able to drive and get my first job, I was hired by a small, local dial-up internet provider as a technical support representative. It wasn't a position that involved programming, but it involved computer technology. During that time, I continued to learn more about computer systems and hone my programming skills. Eventually, that lead to a job at a local company that designed and manufactured touch screen kiosks. We used some software that was sufficient for basic functionality, but we wanted to try some more complicated applications and the software wasn't up to the task. So I saw an opportunity to put my skills to use and got busy.
