CHS helped me embrace my inner nerd. In the mid-1980’s computers were nowhere near as prevalent as they are today. No iPhone, no iPad, no internet, but we did have around 12 Apple IIc computers in Mr. Leppke’s computer lab. I didn’t know it then – but computers and technology would become part of my career trajectory. The early introduction of what is now prehistoric tech helped open my eyes to the art of the possible. I could have never planned for how communication would transform from my then rotary dial and party phone line world to one where I can work almost fully remote with people from 20 different states and receive packages on my doorstep within 2 hours from the time I order them on my iPhone.
