Staff Biographies

 Rob Bugh has worked for IBM much of his adult life. He is
currently working as an OO software programmer porting
Taligent's CommonPoint Frameworks to OS/2. When he's not
slinging code, you might find him hammering one of the many
mountain biking trails around Austin. "I like to brag about my
spectactular face-planting endos to my friends but noone
believes me 'cause I still have all my teeth."

Richard Hawes has worked in the PC industry for too long with a
slight detour into IBM mid-range systems when he joined IBM
nearly seven years ago. Richard is now working in Basingstoke,
England as a LAN Technical Consultant in a European Project
Office where he provides assistance to IBM support
organisations. Richard's spare time mainly revolves around
keeping his young daughter from wrecking the house. His other
hobbies include swimming, cinema and juggling. Low ceilings in
his house prevent him from juggling five balls; otherwise, he
would have surely mastered it by now. He can be reached at
Internet:juggler.vnet.ibm.com.



Steve McNally develops promotions with Marketing Reps as the
Editor for the IBM US Promotions and Price Actions Board. He
spends his free time with his wife Kim and seven-month-old
daughter, Olivia Hope, and tries to put in as much time as
possible writing fiction of all shapes and sizes.  A quote that
came to mind while composing his bio was "It's like a sauna in
here." Cosmo Kramer, in the sauna at a health club. He can be
reached at Internet: [e-mail].



Stacey Miller, an avid Phoenix Suns fan, spends her working
hours as the Developer Connection and Device Driver Kit
strategist for IBM. Prior to her current position, she was the
first editor of the OS/2 Developer Connection Newsletter.
(That's why we let her write for this newsletter.) Besides
basketball, Stacey loves her dogs, her husband and  trying not
to fall off rollerblades.  She can be reached at
[e-mail].

Certified OS/2 Engineer, he works with IBM's Software Channel
customers in IBM's BESTeam program. He's been with IBM for 17
years and has worked with PCs since DOS 1.0 days. Chris is

almost 2 years marketing and supporting IBM RISC System/6000 and
OS/2 Warp at the University of California. He is currently an

enjoy a beautiful view of San Francisco. Just don't bother him
on Thursday nights during Seinfeld and Friends. Drop him a note
... [e-mail].



Patrick Senti joined IBM in 1989 as a commercial trainee. In
1991,  he joined the OS/2 support group, where he made his first
contact with OS/2. It quickly became his favourite opperating
system. Right now Patrick is working as a Programmer for IBM
internal application development on MVS systems. Patrick uses
OS/2 at home and on small projects at work. Patrick  can be
reached at Internet: [e-mail].



Duncan Strong started with IBM as a co-op student in 1993. He is
currently starting a new assignment as Western Region Software
Channel Manager for IBM Canada. Besides crafting witty bios,
Duncan enjoys aimlessly wandering the 'Net in search of the
Ultimate Home Page, swimming, and watching Simpson's re-runs
(Not neccessarily in that order). Duncan thinks Star Trek is a
documentary. Duncan can be reached at Internet:
[e-mail].



Collin Summers' company has been contracted by IBM to help in
central Illinois with OS/2 LAN Server and all those other PC
Software type stuff.  Before IBM took up all his time, he did
independent computer consulting in many areas, but focused on
OS/2 work (Guess that's how he ended up working with IBM).
Collin spends his free time, when there is some, tinkering
around and looking for new and better ways to use computers.  Of
course, he only runs OS/2 and OS/2 LAN Server on his business'
LAN. Collin is available at Internet: summers.vnet.ibm.com or
73422,[e-mail].



Jerome Yuzyk graduated from the U of Alberta in 1984 with a
B.Sc. Psychology, specializing in Human and Machine Vision.  In
1993 he set out on his own, forming BRIDGE Scientific Services.
He consulted to various large and small business in the Edmonton
area. Being an OS/2 user since 1992 in the midst of a sea of
ignorance and misinformation Jerome started CAOS/2: Central
Alberta OS/2 Users Group in August 1993. The group has grown to
100+ members since then. In October of 1994 he joined IBM Canada
as a Retail Marketing Specialist, travelling the prairies
talking to retailers, consultants and user groups about OS/2
Warp and OS/2 products in general. He also just started teaching
OS/2 courses for IBM Education Services. When he's not doing any
of that he's a hobby gardener and amateur landscape designer.
And when not doing *that*, he takes apart various rooms in his
house and (sometimes) puts them back together again.
