I always loved playing piano, started playing at 11, and was always told I had talent. I was sort of directed, by myself that is, toward an engineering career a while ago, with in mind buiding synthesizers, for maintaining a connection to music playing.
In the process, I discovered computers. Started on Vic-20, learned MVS S/360 and 370, programmed in Fortran, COBOL, PL/1, RPG, Visual Basic, and even some assembly programming on S/370 and 8086 (the ancestor of Pentium for the young in you). Loved it so much started a career in consulting at Arthur Andersen, programmed on S/38 and AS/400 and gradually evolved into that realm to become a vice-president of consulting services... far from music and not enough time to do any, anymore.
So I quit about 2 years ago (2008). Returned to school to learn basic audio and sound engineering, finished about 6 months ago (November 2009), and now am here doing some contract work both in audio and in technology, and now having fun connecting back to programming and technology installation.
