| Bayard Kohlhepp received a BS degree in computer science from Millersville University, Millersville, PA, in 1981. He spent the next 20-plus years designing software, managing project teams, teaching Unix and C programming, and running data centers. Most of his time was spent creating distributed real-time embedded (DRE) systems. He culminated his "geek" career as VP of R&D for a point-of-sale hardware manufacturer, and then traded science for art to pursue new creative paths. Bayard now resides in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina where he works as a professional photographer, music producer, video editor, and high school math and science teacher. --Read our Q&A with Bayard Kohlhepp here. |
