Ashley began his fateful foray into the programming world 13 years ago when he developed games and graphics software for Timex Sinclair 1000 and Commodore VIC-20 computers. He continued his programming career at BDM Corporation and as a contractor. Ashley later worked as a graphic artist, radio DJ, and touring musician, releasing a CD and founding one of the first Web-based music stores with his consulting company. Ashley now lives in Lexington, Massachusetts, after wandering from his native Albuquerque, New Mexico. When he's not too far behind schedule, Ashley formulates theories on paranormal experiences and writes music.
