On what subject(s) are you an authority?

There are a number of subjects of which I am most passionate.

Music

I’ve been passionate about music at least since age 4 maybe longer. I’m decently knowledgeable in the genres I like most.

Percussion

I played drums and various percussion instruments from age 8 until age 24. Playing in but not limited to: drum-line, marching band, percussion ensemble, Latin Band, Big Band, Jazz Band, Symphony, Concert Band and Wind Ensemble.

Reading

I love classic fiction, modern fiction, fantasy, science fiction, poetry, philosophy, horror, mystery, and noire.

Writing

I love to write poetry (many forms), essays, autobiographical short stories, and interesting anecdotes.

Technology

I have worked in Information Technology for over 28 years working in: data conversions, help desk, systems analysis, programming, QA, technical writing, training, systems implementations, technical support, and Sarbanes Oxley risk assessments and audits.

Diagraming and Prototyping

In my current job I work so much in Visio that my teammates call me the “Vizio Wizio” 😂

Video Games

I am pretty decent at most classic video games and consoles.

Trivia

My extensive music knowledge, entertainment, science, and history make me a threat at any bar trivia contests.

People

I am good at reading people which has greatly aided me in my career and writing.

Computers

I can fix/diagnose many or most issues, as I have worked on thousands of computers with issues.

As always thank you for reading…
