About Me

During my junior and senior years in high school, I worked at a local hospital, where the operating room nurses trained me to set up and clean an operating room before and after surgery and to assist the surgeon during the operation.

Two of the most interesting surgeries I assisted in were brain surgery and open-heart surgery.

I was also trained to assist the pathologists in the morgue.

Since I was strongly interested in the medical field, I attended and completed the education to become a Respiratory Therapist. After graduation and getting some work experience, I became a Registered Respiratory Therapist.

The training for this program was taught by Pulmonary Physicians, Anesthesiologists, Pediatricians, Surgeons, The Chief Respiratory Therapist, and his assistants, as well as other individuals who were either Department heads or Supervisors of areas such as Bacteriology, Pharmacy, etc.

The training included both lectures and clinical experience, 12 hours per day and 6 days per week. It was a grueling program and every instructor worked very closely with us.

After being exposed to Tuberculosis more than 50 times and becoming very ill from Infectious Hepatitis from a patient during a code blue, I decided to get out of the field.

I became interested in computers, so I was off to school once again to get some training.

During my time in the computer field, I have worked with IBM mainframes for over 15 years, in the capacities of a computer operator, programmer, programmer analyst, and tech (software) support.

The most interesting and challenging was software support.

After personal computers were introduced, I was able to buy my first pc and have worked exclusively on PCs ever since.

In summary, I have an extensive background in both the medical and computer fields.
