| I was born and raised in Iowa. I graduated from
Saydel High School in Des Moines Iowa in 1973.
After school I got my 1st full-time job at Northwestern Bell

Northwestern Bell....to US West...to Quest.
I held several positions at the "phone company".

While working at the phone company and raising a family, I also
attended night-school and earned my degree in computer programming.
 In
1982 I married Denny Curtis, we raised 2 children together, Curt and
Lee. We have 5 grandchildren today.
- Curt & Jill (wife) live in Waterloo Nebraska (Near Omaha) and have
3 kids, Denny III, Tyler (TJ) and Pamela

Denny and I continued to work once we arrived in
South Gulf Cove working as consultants in Tampa. In 1999 we joined
Franklin Templeton, Inc. in St. Petersburg FL as full-time employees in
the Information Technology Department.
