        <p>I'm a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asperger_syndrome">type I autistic</a> 50-something living on my
            own near Walt Disney World; and yes—I'm a Passholder. I also spend a lot of time working with all the data
            that is generated by my devices (smartphone, smartwatch, health apps, lifelogging apps, <em>&c</em>.) to
            analyze
            and publish my own personal informatics, and share other data that I think is of interest.</p>

        <p>Playing with data is “in my blood,” I suppose. I work from home full-time as a reporting analyst and Power BI
            developer with <a href="https://workcompauto.optum.com">Optum Workers' Comp & Auto No-Fault</a>* (formerly
            Helios,
            formerly PMSI), where I've been since 2011 after doing the same for about five years with AT&T Global
            Network Services in Tampa and doing administrative work for Holmes & Narver/AECOM in California, where I was
            born and raised. I relocated to Florida in 2000 and have lived in Lakeland, Plant City, and Tampa before
            settling in my current location.</p>

        <p>My <em>formal</em> training is a 1996 B.A. <em>cum laude</em> in religion with emphasis in pastoral ministry
            from <a href="https://vanguad.edu">Vanguard
                University of Southern California</a>, but life and my own stupidity had other ideas.
            I've also done some French language and culture study by correspondence with the Alliance Française in
            Paris, and studied French, business, and computer science at <a href="https://www.coastline.edu">Coastline
                College</a> before transferring to VUSC.</p>
