Tech how and when did I learn
My first step was to buy a commodore 64 and then an apple
I took computers classes at DMACC here in Des Moines Iowa, then I got a break!
One day I was asked to become the training sales person in the Training Dept at CompUSA, I asked who would my boss be, well your on your own, you have one teacher
It was me and him (Steven and Tim) I sold the computer classes and he thought. them
With in 6 mo we were selling 100,000 a mo.
Now I am the District Training Mng and he was one of two teachers that were working for me.
We went from doing one word class to
2 TOFEL Programs a week, TSA testing FFDO, Promissor, CAT Testing, Word, excel, access, outlook powerpoint, tests MS Testing Cert.
Now e have three teachers and all three class rooms were in use 9 to 10 hours a day some days more.
I did a radio spot useing my money not CompUSA mondy for a radio spot, from that we brought in THE VA to teach the vet's how to use computers and programs,
Today CompUSA is closed here in Iowa,
Today I am on the council at the Drake University adult literacy center. I took tech tools to DC to show members of congress.
