I was born in Columbus Ohio, USA, in 1947. I graduated from Ohio State University with a BA in Psychology.

I’ve had a love affair with computers ever since I got out of college. I’ve worked as a system programmer, an application developer, team manager, programmed IBM mainframes and communication controllers, whistled into acoustic couplers (pre-dated modems), patched paper tape with paper and tape, programmed Varian minicomputers, microcomputers, pc’s, unix, VAX/VMS, reverse engineered GW-Basic to shoehorn Hebrew right-to-left support, wrote a firmware loader and compiler to emulate an NCR RMC minicomputer on an NCR VRX mainframe, wrote a system and network management system for Stratacom WAN eauipment, wrote an automated file transfer system between IBM DOS/VSE, Digital Ultrix (unix), and Novell-based pc’s, introduced PKI digital signatures in the Israel and helped to make them official, consulted for the military, and currently work as an information security manager for Global Information Security at NCR.
