After the Heathkits and ham radio license, attending the Florida Institute of Technology (FIT) just seemed natural. Despite the subsequent transfer to University of Florida and career change to writing, I remain fascinated with technology, especially computers, networks and telecommunications. I am co-author, along with Stan Gelber, of The Emerging Digital Future, a text book on data networks.
An early adopter of computer products, I exhibit the unusual habit of reading user guides. This led to developing Microsoft Word templates for my own use, learning to program in Visual Basic and launching my software as a commercial product, Script Werx. For over a decade this software has been helping thousands of script writers around the world, not the least of whom are the entire writing staff for Saturday Night Live.
