My name is Joe Highcove. I am semi-retired
and live with my wife and our family dog in Woodland Hills,
California, a suburb of Los Angeles. We have three children,
all grown, who live in other areas of California. I had a long
career in Information Technology after a brief tour in the United
State Air Force. I have also worked as a financial advisor and
stock broker, and had my own IT business partnership for more
than 20 years.
During our children early years, I was a soccer coach and referee,
and scoutmaster for about 7 years. I backpacked through the
Grand Canyon and canoed the Colorado River while a scout leader.
Currently, my wife and I walk our dog an average of 5 miles
a day. We also work out at a private gym three times a week,
using treadmills and resistance machines. My wife is a freelance
writer and editor, and publishes a monthly newsletter for the
local chapter of the California Writers Club. She does daily
crossword puzzles, while I do Sudoku puzzles and weekly chess
puzzles. I am also the only one of my age group (67) who will
admit to playing video games. Both my wife and I have had a
life-long interest in SCIFI.
I enjoy chatting with students since they are the only ones
most concerned with current popular culture, which older citizens
often miss in their busy daily lives.
