I picked up computers very young, when my Uncle Dennis bought a new computer, he brought us his old one, it was a Commodore 64, with a whopping 512 K of memory. It had a huge harddrive in it, it was a hardcard actually, it was 40MB stacked, 20 originally. I couldn't do much at first, except play golf on it. Then I learned Harvard Graphics, then the all-powerful WordStar. I can still remember buying games that wouldn't run on it, only having to take them back.

After the Commodore came the CompuAdd 386/20MhZ. It was a slimline case, with 4 MB of Ram, and a 250 MB Harddrive. It was when we had that system that I started really getting into computers hot and heavy.

That brings us to my current system, I suppose I've had it about 4 years now, and the only original piece of equipment in it is the case. I bought all of the parts about 4 years ago, and built a nice system, it did what I needed it too. Then as time passed I would upgrade parts and pieces until I got to where I am now, 233MhZ AMDK6, with 64 MB of RAM. About 6.4 GB of Harddrive space, 32X CD-ROM, AWE64 Sound Blaster sound card, HP FlatBed Scanner, Labtec Surround Sound Speakers, Syquest External Storage Device (230MB per cartridge), Matrox Mystique 4MB Video Card. It does the job as well.

I started working for The Forrest City Broadcasting Company (KXJK/KBFC) in October of 1996. Performing Transmitter maintenance, and doing all of the computer related tasks, such as backups, maintenance, network administration, troubleshooting, etc. I have the most fun at any job I've ever had working at the radio station. Sometimes it consists of long hours, late hours, and lonely shifts, but it is a great environment to work in. I worked for the Forrest City School District for just over a year. I was hired as the Network/Operations Manager, which means if a computer goes down, I fixed it. I worked with the most talented people that I have ever met.

On January 21st, I started a new job as the Director of Information Systems for Baptist Memorial Hospital in Forrest City. I really enjoy it so far, and I think everything will work out just fine.
