About Me

Biography

My parents bought our first computer from AST Research; an AST Advantage with Microsoft Windows 3.1 installed. Soon after, I was surfing the internet with Netscape Navigator and a USRobotics 14.4K baud modem connected through CompuServe. I knew then what I wanted to do as a grown-up.
