Born in Mobile, AL, I began my career at age 17 in Radio as an Asst. program director / air shift at WABB AM & FM. From the people I met to the music we played - it was a true Eighties pop culture experience I would never trade!
After working for WNNX-FM [Atlanta]; the New York Times; and as news director/sports at WAMT-AM in Orlando in the 1990's, I went into computer maintenance and distribution for Ortho Management Systems. Now, having been with BellSouth Mobility/Cingular/at&t since 2000, I have enjoyed this form of technology.
I enjoy attending and playing football [games] & GOLF tournaments, hiking, beaches, paraSailing and web design/computer building. I always stay tuned-in to the latest tech-related information, and enjoy reading historical non-fiction.
My current Tech Devices I use: Blackberry 8310 Curve / Olympus 6.0 mp digi-cam / Sony DVD-RW movie cam-corder / PlayStation Portable (PSP) 2008 / Sanyo 50" Plasma HDTV with Dish Network HD & HP notebook to name a few.
