He is a graduate of the Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida with a degree in Computer Science. He had his first experience with the IBM Composer in High School, when he had an opportunity to use one to type his Science Research projects. The complexity of the machine, as well as the beautiful copy it produced left an impression, and years later, he decided to save the IBM Composer from the junk yards and start a small IBM Composer online museum. In addition to the mint condition machines, his collection also includes virtually all English fonts produced for the Composer, as well as just about every document IBM published relating to it.
