Alan's Story
After graduation I went to UGA in Athens for a while, but didn't graduate. Took a Summer job as a entry level land surveyor, and 27 years later was still surveying. Have a license to stamp surveys in Maryland, but no longer earn a living doing that. I made a career switch to IT in 1998 and am now employed at The Johns Hopkins University and Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, where I administer UNIX and Linux servers in the Enterprise Services Group.
Cathy and I have two grown children, Andy and Emilie, and four grandchildren, Adam, Aeden,Abbegayle and Ada, and Adam lives with us. We have a small farm in Windsor Mill, Maryland, just west of Baltimore. Cathy is a working civil engi...Expand for more
neering designer. We have one big dog and three cats. We are looking forward to retiring when Adam finishes college and the farm is paid off, and maybe having a few minutes to relax.
My hobbies include Amateur Radio (Callsign NG3B, licensed in Extra Class), electronic gadgets of all kinds, NASCAR racing (fan only, no driving), Orioles baseball, and tending the farm. Also I am enrolled in Tae Kwon Do classes with my grandson Adam, who is like a son to me. We go three times a week and have earned our Novice Black Belts as of October '09. I still shoot rifles, pistols and shotguns regularly, and have maintained a "deadeye" that was acquired as a teen in the DeKalb Junior Rifle Club.
