The choices of mediums I’ve used have been influenced by many individuals going back to childhood, watching my father and grandfather run businesses. Leading me twenty-five years ago to run my own business, a small commercial print shop, plus many experiences in between, working at the meat counter in a chain of grocery stores for a time in Iowa Falls and later Clear Lake, Iowa, and even some years designing and selling advertising for a small town newspaper. Finally today working as a network systems analyst supporting the computer needs of staff, faculty, and students within a community college, having these diverse resources to draw from will support what I hope to be years of material for your enjoyment and more importantly the tools to guide and strengthen the mediums of your choosing.
