About

I started writing software back in the days of Dialup BBS systems. In 1991 I turned this into TNL Systems and started selling this software. I made about $20 every 6 months.

In 1994 I started with IBM Corporation. Around 1997 I founded TNL Total Solutions and was able to take advantage of the Dot.com boom which was only just beginning. During this time I did work for many fortune 500 companies and was involved in several dot com ventures. I was also owner of a web hosting company during this time and a short lived game hosting company.

Presently I am president of TNL Total Solutions, an enterprise that I started some time ago.
