Originally from the Chicago area, I majored in music in high school and college.

I took a class in sound engineering and fell in love with the recording studio!

I worked in a few professional recording studios for a few years, but there were no benefits and the hours and pay were limited.

In 1992 I took a job with Hewlett-Packard as a medical field service tech.  I did that for  eight years and then took a position as

an I.T. Project manager where I worked separating HP and Agilent's voice and data systems.

In 2002 I took a job as a project manager for Philips Healthcare managing the implementation of hospital computer systems.

I was laid off in January of 2009 and am now making  a living using all my talents.
