About the author:

I am an American, born in the great city of Washington DC.  I lived most of my younger life and school years in Alexandria Virginia, attending George Washington high school, graduating in 1967. During my high school years, I was a Yearbook photographer and a school newspaper photographer the last three years. After that I worked as a Telephone Installer for about a year before joining the United States Air Force. In the Air Force I was also a Photographer, for 20 years, retiring in 1987. After my retirement from active duty I went on to study computers and ended up retiring a second time from that industry. Most of my computer career has been working twelve years as a consultant on the IBM AS/400 Midrange Systems. Most of my work was working on upgrading existing systems subcontracted to IBM from the computer company I worked for.  I also worked as an AS/400 Operations Manager, Manager of a Computer Support section at one of the companies, and a manager over a section in another company. I also did a lot of work in disaster recovery and computer programming along with some  web site development.  In 2003 I attended The University of Texas at Arlington and received a certificate for completing a 44 hour course of study for "Web Site Developer".

I am now the sole owner of a business called "MC Harman Imports & Delivery", a company specializing in imported goods from the Philippines. I am also a Xango distributor with a promising career in this business.  In 2004 ,I met and married Marianne,  and ended up building a large home pictured below in Bogo Philippines. We have a lot of good memories in this house, but have decided to sell it as we are currently living in Grand Prairie Texas and do not expect to return for several years.

Our current plan is to stay here and  make trips to visit the Philippines about once or twice a year, while Marianne gets her United States citizenship.
