Howard's Story
Life
After high school I hung out in coffee shops with friends and played in rock and roll bands while taking a few classes at Mesa College. I somehow ended up being a recording engineer at Circle Sound Studios in San Diego. Did that for awhile then went back to school to eventually get a Masters Degree in Computer Science. I moved from San Diego to the bay area in 1998 and from the bay area to Denver, CO in 2001.
School
Well I wasn't the most sociable person in high school. I never could figure out where I belonged in various social circles. I didn't normally like gym, although handball was fun. Nowadays I find myself spending a lot of time in gyms. My favorite day was graduation day. My favorite class was public speaking. I do a lot of speeches and performances in front of audiences and I find it very easy to do.
College
Went to Mesa Jr college for a number of years. It was fun to sit on lawn strumming guitars and to be honest pretending to be going to college. I finally got my four year degree and eventually my graduate degree from Coleman College in the mid 80's. C...Expand for more
olemen College was a great place. To this day I apply what I learned there almost everyday. I enjoyed hanging out at the bar on Thursday nights downing a beer and hanging out with my classmates. My favorite instructors were ER, Jo Jo and Marianne.
Workplace
Up until October 2009 I worked for 14 years for the second largest software company in the world. The one run by the guy who "thinks he's God" and who recently bought a Hawaiian island. Now I'm now an independent consultant and educator. I love it.
What now
I'm performing again now as a solo artist and in a jazz/creative music duo and trio around the area.. The style is creative music that incorporates fingerstyle guitar with tapping, hammering, triggered synths, ec. I also incorporate iPad's, iPhone's and laptops. All original material, NO COVERS! I've produced three CD's and the 4th is in works right now. Oh and I finally got off my butt and created my own website. You can find it by typing 3 ws dot howardostrow dot com. I have samples of different things that I've been doing over the last couple of years.
