Additional Information

Space prevents me from listing all of my work experience. In addition to the positions listed, I spent eleven years with the Dallas Independent School District and worked for the Goddard Computer Science Institute, the Western Institutes of Science and Technology and WICAT Systems. When I started in the computer industry in 1967, there was no such thing as a computer science degree. That's why Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Michael Dell and many others were self taught instead of spending years in formal higher education.
