Retired from full-time work on December 23, 2015 after 40+ years (after college and military service). For the first seven years I served as a producer of audiovisual material for a K-12 bilingual education program. After that, I was as a graphic design/advertising/public relations associate in four industrial corporations. "Un-retired" on February 1, 2016 when I started working part time from home on special projects for a former employer.
When not working, I am either reading or watching classic films. Favorite authors are Harry Turtledove, Philip K. Dick, Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, Arthur Conan Doyle, Edgar Allen Poe, H.P. Lovecraft and Stephen King. Favorite film directors are Alfred Hitchcock, Akira Kurosawa and Fritz Lang.
