Herb's Story
Life
I tried a quarter of college at Havre, then went into the Air Force. I intended to make it a career,
like my Dad had, but after a tour of duty in SEA at the end of the Vietnam War(Thailand), they stationed me in California...Silicon Valley.
Not only did they station me in a place where the computer business was taking off, they also gave
me the opportunity to learn how to program computers (My field was Weather Service).
I got out of the USAF in 1977 and went to work for a government contractor. I attended a community college, and later attended U.C. Berkeley, majoring in Computer Science.
I stayed in the Silicon Valley area for 26 years,...Expand for more
except for a few years in Sacramento, then in 2001, we
moved to Eagle, near Boise, Idaho.
My wife, Linda, is a veterinarian, and I have a 19 year old son, James, and 15 year old daughter.
I work for a friend of mine that has a custom hardwood floor and tile business. The computer company where I worked for twelve years went down the tubes, and I was tired of life in a big corporation. Getting cranky in my old age...
I enjoy getting out on my motorcycle. Linda likes to come with me. Idaho has some beautiful trips that are perfect for motorcycles. James works part time and is attending college. Genna is a sophmore in high school, loves to read.
