Hope IT - Summary Main values and approaches: * Jesus Christ is the Savior, and not technology or education. * Computers are fun, and IT jobs are possible to obtain, but it takes time and effort. * Lab time: the key is understanding, and going forward at your own pace. * 2 hours on Saturday mornings Key team members Mike Veerman - Team Organizer - I’m a programmer for 20+ years, and currently work for an organization that runs 3 hospitals, Citrus Valley Health Partners. Before that I created computer programs to handle mortgages and 401Ks. My wife Ruth and I have 3 children, two of which are in college; our youngest is a sophomore at Arcadia High School. We also home schooled our kids for 6 years. I was an adult leader in Boy Scouts for 7.5 years, and a member of Knox Presbyterian in Pasadena. Mark Bracher - Technical Director - I have been programming for most of my life. Currently employed by ZipRecruiter as a Senior Software Engineer working on Data Services. Professionally I work mainly on backend systems software and large datasets. On my own time, I play with embedded hardware and software systems as a hobby. I’ve lived in and around Los Angeles since graduating Occidental College in the 90s, and my wife Karen and I currently reside in Pasadena. Jim Rispin - Lead Technical Coach (Instructor) - I've worked in IT for more than 20 years, but my formal training is in communications and ethics. So, my goal has been to bring the three together and provide a bridge into technology for those who are intimidated or confused by it. I'm Canadian by birth and midwestern by upbringing. I work as the Director of IT at Fuller Seminary in Pasadena, CA. And I live in Pasadena with my wife, Stacy, my daughter, Emma, and my son, Ian.
