What about the real guy behind the myth? Originally trained as a physicist, I spent much of my life working in electronics, communications, computer based systems and product marketing.
More recently I've moved into education and training. I'm a qualified science teacher (with a fear of children) and work for a large corporation as the lead training analyst and consultant. As my output is always written, in a sense I earn a living from writing.
I'm too creative and in touch with my feminine side to be a true geek, but I am fascinated by the Internet, social networking and Virtual World technology.
I've been here a long time but still love HubPages and find it a great place to learn about content publishing and to network with a fine bunch of writers from around the globe!
