I have served for 26 plus years in the Navy and am a Master Chief Petty Officer. My work background in the Navy is telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well in what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena. My first website - AnotherWin95.com - came online in 1996. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and have all the GeoCities “stuff” to show for it! I have progressed from a single page, link-filled, static html page to using PHP, databases and coding to make my pages.
