IN BRIEF: personable techie with a management lobotomy, hoping to live another year to write something worthwhile. Currently medically retired from a five year battle with “terminal cancer†(we won), Marc has a wide range of knowledge, experiences, and a wee bit of hard acquired wisdom. He has degrees in Computer Science with a good bit of Mathematics and Computer Engineering, as well as Psychology and the more substantial part of a master’s in Clinical. He worked 34 years in the computer industry - 25 at Hewlett-Packard Co. mostly when it was a great place, starting in development and holding roles in most functional areas, and working in or closely with most world regions/globally. Along the way, he picked up a Finance MBA. Though a quite accomplished senior leader not just in the private sector, but in public service as well, he is at heart an original “geek†and loves Geek friends. I`ve traveled over 2M miles around this beautiful planet. I will eat anything if it`s dead, and a few things that aren`t. My current primary life focus is an intense daily battle to regain essential wellness, and indeed that is a full-time job. But I have periods and stretches when I feel a tad better, and love learning and especially accomplishing things. Over the last four months, for example, a bit at a time I helped 11 people through crises, supported my adult kids, installed an under-sink instant hot water dispenser (hey, don’t laugh - it was hard because of my physical limitations), installed a mesh WiFi network, consulted with a few startups and a couple private coaching sessions with accomplished CEOs, and generally drove my wife to the brink of sanity! Not too shabby for a guy who has trouble getting his body to do anything. My lovely and undeserved wife of 33 years, our morkie, and I live in the house be built almost 25 years ago near the Cache la Poudre River. My children - their life mates are my children too - are a pro-photographer, a graphics design leader, an environmental educator, a cultural anthropologist, and an REI store manager.
