Partially retired... using some of my free time in an attempt to capture the legacy of some old, somewhat overlooked, San Francisco Bay Area artists and producers in Wikipedia. They should be represented as part of a truly dynamic moment in an era that changed the world's future. I hope to give them a foothold in history by documenting their major achievements in their industry from the 60s through the 80s.
Have to admit, I have not been too successful to date; it's not easy writing in so prescribed a fashion... also, the bulk of their history predates the internet.
I am and will be thankful to all who can help me in this regard.
As to my credentials, initially, in the 60s through the 80s, I was an entrepreneur in the San Francisco Bay Area and a recognized crafts artist. Though I may be presumptuous and a bit foolhardy, my career has been diverse, and I am not without credentials.
Starting in the 2000s, I was COO and Executive Vice President of Global Operations for a financial analytics company. I oversaw the company's day-to-day operations, including the department responsible for all technical writing and scientific papers.
In 2022, I published and co-authored a reasonably successful, comprehensive, hands-on technical guide for the FINTECH world through John Wiley and Sons.
In addition, I was part of the Senior Management Team responsible for the successful IPO of the first DNS Registrar, which registered domain names in the international registry.
As you can see, my more recent experience runs to the technical, but my heart lives in preserving the history of a time whose witnesses and sources are rapidly fading.
