There was birth, boarding school, solo international travel at 16, London shenanigans, Hare Krishna, then some retail, then a Radio Scanning business which led to working for some interesting people.
Then European Editor of Pen Computing Magazine, then government contracting, then working for Cap Gemini in France, then a lot of Wi-Fi in the USA.
Then Intel, early retirement. Some commercial and DoD Drone stuff. Now its purely volunteer work, specifically Search & Rescue, Project Lifesaver and the County EOC.
