MASTER CODER

My first application that I submitted in 1983 for publication was called "Typing Smiley". It was not published but that didn't stop me from pursuing coding. Around that time I made my Atari 800 play music, turn lights on and off and wrote a Space Shuttle simulator for a school project. Total Technical Institute provided an education in computer hardware, circuit board design, machine language programming and opportunities for me to teach. Tri-C completed my Associate in Computer Sciences and Baldwin-Wallace started my Bachelor. Initially I spent equal time with hardware (designing, building, fixing) and writing software. My machine language programming skills quickly lead to writing software that ran in the background (TSR) and I joined a local development team that eventually lead to the development of Norton-Antivirus with a year stint in California. Leaving Symantec, I headed back to North East Ohio and partnered with another excellent developer and started Stage Research, Inc. Stage Research develops software and hardware for the theatrical and themed industries and when projects did not fit into the business model for Stage Research, Inline Technology was spun up to develop custom business software, computer networks, phone systems, and websites/email.
