I had graduated from Largo High School, Largo Florida in 1968.  The student body was small because that area of Florida is mostly a retirement community.  Nearest city that one may recognize is Clearwater.

    I attended the University of West Florida working on a Marine Biology degree.  By my third year I had discovered the reality that there were limited jobs in the undersea world.  I had switched majors to Computer Science and graduated in 1972.   I had received recognition and awards for my outstanding performance on the university's sailing team.

    From 1993 to 2000 I had taken a large number of Sybase classes and attended four user conferences.  I was also involved with the Federal and Commercial Sybase User Groups in the Washington D.C. area.

     From 1995 through 2000 additional class work was done at the USDA Graduate School Washington D.C.  I also attend informal classes and various seminars hosted by the Capital PC User Group.  The CPCUG is note worthy because it is the large PC user group in the United States.

     Lastly in 2001 I graduated from George Mason University's Web Development curriculum top in my class.
