Most of my education comes from books and personal experience. I attended several community colleges in computer science courses and attended Oregon Institute of Technology in the day when it was still being called Oregon Technical Institute by some of it's graying professors. I missed punch-card computing classes by one year. I lived on campus in Klamath Falls, Oregon, USA.
I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.
- Mark Twain
I'm a quick study, learned people skills first, and have been employed steadily since age 15. Without a degree I had to prove myself at every step of the way in my career. I easily have enough experience in life and business to equate to some sort of degree but I never had time to get one.
I was pleased to realize one day that my drive, courage, and learning ability exceeded the typical professional of my age.
I have learned that excellence follows professionalism, integrity, and constant self-improvement.
Early in life I had to choose between honest arrogance and hypocritical humility. I chose honest arrogance and have seen no occasion to change.
- Frank Lloyd Wright
On three separate occasions, at three separate employers,
I have had the wish to clone me expressed by my supervisors in my filed written reviews. I am a model employee and a good soldier.
