Bøger af Philip S Radcliffe

I am presently 85 years old. I retired in 2000 when my wife and I moved to a resort community in Williamsburg, Virginia where we enjoyed golf, tennis, an active social life, and frequent travel. We both read for increased knowledge and recreation. In 2014 I had extensive back surgery that reduced my physical abilities and provided more time for reading and eventually writing. By 2018 we downsized into a home in the Shenandoah Valley nearer our family and we continue reading and participating in our community.My life experience in my working career included spending the first 5 years in computer data processing as a systems engineer and IT manager. I then transitioned into marketing industrial computer systems for a major corporate supplier for another 6 years before getting the entrepreneurial inspiration and spending 10 years founding an independent industrial computer company and acting as CFO while taking the company public. After that company was sold, I became a virtual company supplying industrial computer systems to the government and the private sector. While still operating my individual company I started participating in other new company start-ups and serving on corporate Boards of Directors. So, I have been a technician and engineer, a salesperson, a CFO of a public reporting company, an independent entrepreneur and mentor-Director of private companies and full reporting NYSE corporations.My other life experiences include parenting three great children with my wife of 62 years. This chapter has involved marriages, divorces and the births of six fantastic grandchildren who are now all adults.
