- In a field crowded with HR cyclists, I’m another. A long time ago, after many years as a customer I was invited to be a guest leader with Vermont Bicycle Touring. For a few seasons I got pay plus tips to spend a week on inn-to-inn tours during autumn foliage, riding half days and driving the sag wagon the other half. Nearly left my day job.
- My degree is in Commercial Art, from the pre-PC era. I was an Art Director for almost 20 years. I specialized in large catalog production and got involved in online commerce (on Compuserve, showing my age again) in the late ’80s. By the time the web got popular I was spending as much time with systems as designing. I made the formal transfer to development management in 1998.
- I learned to code on a Univac 1108 in 1973. Punch cards, paper tape, Teletypes with acoustic coupler modems and no displays.
- New York City is my favorite place.
- Late in the last century I swore that I’d never work on PeopleSoft systems again. And yet…
I’ll tag brazenindustriousness, Romulus and Rich.
