Profile: Herb Swearengen

Personal background
I am a 56 year-old work-at-home computer programmer. I design and code automation systems for small radio broadcast stations. I program primarily in Visual Basic 2005 or Visual Basic 6 and I am a Microsoft Registered Partner.

I have also written quite a few small programs just for fun. Several have won programming contests.

I am self-taught and it is a chore to keep up with technology.

Four years ago I went to our community college and was awarded an Associates Degree with Highest Honors.

I have done many things in my life. After high school I went to work for Radio Shack as a salesman and was made a manager at age 19. The Vietnam war cut that career short when I was drafted. After a year of training, I served my country as a cryptographic technician in Bangkok, Thailand and Frederick, Maryland.

After the war, I went back to Radio Shack for several years as a store manager and later as a repair center manager and technician. I was involved in the first truly mass-marketed home computer, the Radio Shack TRS-80 both in sales and repair.

Later I became a certified Novell networking instructor. I worked for a training center for several years and then went out on my own (finding myself in a different city every week).

After the traveling became too much to bear, I went to work for IBM and later Lucent as a network support technician.
