In my first computer job one punch card was used for each line of code.  The computer industry has changed quite a bit since then!  For the last couple of years I have focused on Excel VBA, but along the way did some database design and SQL, VB, COBOL, C, html, operated now-obsolete mainframes, testing, customer support, and an MCSD certification.  I also spent 4 years in Cameroon (Africa) with my family in a remote area reachable by helicopter.  My home most of my life has been on the outskirts of Seattle.  I enjoy the challenge of rapidly coming up with answers on EE and of the other Experts pushing me to do better, (and I'm pushing right back ;-) ).  As they say, iron sharpens iron.
