Ralph's Story
Life
Working as a Senior Mainframe Storage Specialist on the American Express for IBM. Amex hired me on to mainframe operations in high school and have treated me pretty well ever since. Worked for them for 5 years in Florida, then 11 years in Phoenix, AZ, and just recently working virtually from an old waterwheel grist mill in Upstate NY that I bought.
Thought about getting into working with the smaller systems (Sun, AS400, RS6000, etc.) but am finding Fortune 500 companies paying more for mainframe support. Thank you dot com's!
No wife, no kids, but lots to keep me busy. The mill is a museum and gift shop open from May-October. Hoping to generate enough revenue to jump the corporate fence...Expand for more
soon and have winters off.
I now find computers to just be a necessary evil. There a tool to help me live but they aren't my life.
Mountain biking, kayaking, snowshoeing, backpacking (what goes on in the canyon stays in the canyon), triathlons, and adventure races fill the time between relationships. Looking for that outdoor girl that loves nature as much as I do.
Workplace
Well I've done alot and I've done nothing. I've been in computers since leaving High School and still there. I've gone through quite a few positions, but dang'it, still dealing with computers. Also own/operate a historic waterwheel powered grist mill (non-computerized of course). Looking for the best of both worlds.
