View full history

I was a pre-engineering major who switched to fine arts. I've drawn all my life. In 1962 I happened onto an opportunity to get into the infancy of the computer industry. Aside from several years as a freelance artist/graphic designer, I continued to work with computers, and still do, now primarily building websites, which also includes graphic design.

I'm divorced, with 2 delightful adult daughters, and live most comfortably in a small apartment close enough to walk for basic shopping. I work at bodybuilding 3 times/week, and maintain a healthy diet, as part of a casual plan for eternal life. I do considerable volunteer work, and also continue my connection with the art world.

I also write frequently, in 2 blogs:
No Force, No Fraud and the boBLOG and maintain my own website at SMITH.MN

Other fun websites I've created are Chuck's Toyland and Minnesotans for the Delta Queen
