I've been doing things with computers seriously since 1973, when I was in the 10th grade, and have spent most of my working life using computers to improve business. However, I don't really consider myself an IT guy, I'm an accountant who can bridge the gap between the number crunchers and the computer guys. I have the great fortune to understand noth sides' needs and drivers, and how to turn a business problem into something the programmers can solve with technology.
