My interest in computers and programming began in the late 70's when the first personal computers arrived on the market. In the mid 90's I started an Internet dial-up access business and shortly after, teamed up with two other consultants to form GRV Consulting. As the network manager for a local Internet Service Provider, I have many years experience with Internet services on Windows and Linux based systems and the development, maintenance and monitoring of Internet security systems and firewalls.
