I have only been working in an IT department since 2010. I have been working with computers since about 1980 when I wrote my first computer program. That program was written on paper in the BASIC programming language. It was not until almost a year later when I built my own computer from a kit (Sinclair ZX81) that I was able to run that program.

Since that first PC, I cannot count the amount of computers I have owned much less the amount of hours I have logged on them. Electronics and computers have always been my passions. When I am not working on computers, I am playing with them. And in the few minutes I spend away from them a year, I end up in conversation about them. This might also explain why one of my hobbies is amateur radio – electronics and computers combined.
