Steven's Story
Life
UPDATE - As of November 2004, I'm no longer working for IBM! I've finally decided to go out on my own. Some of this was prompted by the reunion, where I saw how we're all getting old and a lot of us still haven't fulfilled our dreams. I've started a consultancy called Raven Solutions, LLC and I'm also deeply involved in writing a computer book that should be out in January of 2005.
After graduation from CU in '78 I went to work for the local utility company as an engineer, then gradually moved into management after getting my MBA in '83. Somehow I went from engineering into computers (hey, I've always been a bit of a geek!), and in '95 the entire IT division of Public Service Co. was "outsourced" to IBM. Soooo, I worked for IBM for 9 years, although I'm a Mac user at heart!
In my spare time, I run PDAntic.com, a website/blog that focuses on mobile computing and tech gadgetry. It's a lot of fun...Expand for more
and I've been a 2-time attendee at Microsoft's exclusive Mobius conference as a result.
One of my other obsessions is bike riding. I've put over 4800 miles on my recumbent bikes since late 2000. My sister Susan (HHS '73) also rides a 'bent bike and we have a weblog that chronicles our riding.
In '79 I married Barb Mackinder, who was a '73 grad from Aurora Central (boo, hiss...). Don't know if you knew her or not, but she was one of the musical crowd from Central (pianist) and had done some of Doc Lininger's summer shows with us. We decided early on to be "childless by choice", so we have our furry buddy (Ruby, a tortoiseshell cat) to keep us company.
Well, enough of this. As you can see, my "Most Talkative" title in the Senior Superlatives hasn't changed much. I just do a lot more typing than talking... Keep in touch! If you're ever back in the Denver area let me know so we can get together!
