Many
people immediately jump to the conclusion that I am retired. I AM
NOT! I consider myself "somewhat retired." Like many of the
over 65 age group, I require some additional income to enjoy my
chosen lifestyle. I still enjoy many of the things I did during my
career.
As
a lifelong, serial entrepreneur. I have a broad range of knowledge,
skills and experience. Everything I've done to generate income during
my professional career has been of my own choosing. When I didn't
enjoy something, I simply eliminated it from my life. Basically, I
did what I found interesting and enjoyable.
So,
as I enjoy my "Living Free," location independent, digital
nomadic lifestyle, I accept "freelance" projects that
interest me,l utilizing the
knowledge,
skills and experience I enjoy most. So, here they are. If you have a
project that falls nominally in line with the services I offer,
please consider contacting me.

(NOTE:
Depending
on the brand, formulation and age of 1/4" magnetic tapes,
some
may require repair since they may be very brittle and break in pieces
easily
while others may require a special, extremely controlled "baking"
process
to reactivate the binding agent used to adhere the metal oxide to the
mylar
backing. Baking is contracted to a facility with a very accurate
scientific oven
and is an extra expense. Tapes requiring baking in this manner have
about a
two week life before they begin shedding the oxide again.)

Fees
and Conditions:
- Fees are variable and are based on location, travel, audience size, venue, whether a seminar or workshop and duration of the seminar or workshop.
- I am very flexible and will often consider joint ventures
- Conditions are also flexible - I usually require travel expenses in advance to and from wherever I happen to be at the time of the event. If I happen to be traveling in the area the event is scheduled to take place there will usually be no travel expenses other than accommodations for the term of the event. I also expect a non-refundable deposit in advance to secure the date. This is negotiable based on a variety of contingencies. This is all worked out in advance, prior to any commitments from either party.
