I have a wide variety of interests, many of which could be considered academic/intellectual. I graduated with a BS in chemistry from the University of Tennessee and got an MBA from the University of Memphis. I'm a CPA, though my work life has centered around information technology, telecommunications, and auditing. I've written several books, some published by CRC Press and others self published just for fun. All periods of history are interesting but ancient history holds the most appeal for me. I enjoy two way communications & love to hear the thoughts of other curious people.
