I live in Hawaii, on the Big Island. I own my own businesses, I work as a computer consultant helping people with their computer problems, and I also develop easy computer lesson CDs that teach computer basics in plain English.
I moved out to Hawaii in 2001, from upstate New York (Ithaca). I've been helping people with computers since the mid '90s, first as a computer tech at three different computer stores, and for the last few years working for myself as a consultant.
More recently, I started developing my series of CDs that teach computer skills with the same plain English, step-by-step approach I've developed with my clients.
The part of my job I enjoy most (aside from being my own boss) is helping people understand how to use and enjoy their computers instead of being frustrated by them. When I explain something and they have that "hey! I actually got it!" moment, it's really rewarding. You can see that for yourself when you watch some of the video testimonials on my site. It's a very cool thing.
I'm a writer, and and photographer, and find the greatest inspiration from nature and the beauty in the world around me, which there's no shortage of out here.
I've had a long-time fascination with the human mind, and how it works. I've come to realize that the single greatest skill a person can have is having choice over their own beliefs and behavior. When you believe you can do something, you'll be surprised at how easy it can be.
