Scott's bio... always in progress


Born Scott Walter Earley on 26 January 1957, I was raised in colonial Haddonfield. This is the location of the first nearly-complete skeleton of a dinosaur that shook the scientific community back in 1858!

Employed since 1997 at the University of Medicine and Dentisty of New Jersey (UMDNJ) in Stratford. With over 20 years experience in computers I enjoy my work in the Info Technology Division in Academic Computing Services. Here's my web page: pearl.umdnj.edu/~earleysw where I support students, faculty and systems.

MUSIC... making friends through music was always an important part of my life. In fact that's where Ruthie and I met four years ago- singing in the Oratorio choir at Haddonfield Methodist! Here's an Irish music page from a colleague. And my friend Rudy: DO medical student, DJ and bagpiper.

Man, almost forgot to tell you how much I LOVE JAZZ especially straight-ahead and BeBop. Check out arranger extraordinaire Manny Albam who taught at Glassboro State (now Rowan Univ) in the 70's.If jazz is NOT your bag jump over to this fine SEARCH SITE and poke around for something else you dig.

For fun I collect music CDs, go to the Philadelphia Orchestra, collect coins and sing contemporary Christian praises at our Methodist Church in Moorestown, NJ. This past summer we went camping together for the first time - whaddya get when you mix camping with Methodists?

Graduated HMHS in 1975... studied math and sciences at Drexel in west Philly where I co-oped at the FAA Test Center (then NAFEC). After my 1980 graduation I escaped to southern California with Hughes Aircraft, regularly embarking on numerous wild rides and swimming in the Pacific Ocean. Kicked back way too much then bounced back east and floated up the Delaware river and found a career in wide-area network support near Princeton with EDUCOM, which evolved into Educause helping to expand BITNET into what soon became the world's largest ad hoc Academic computer network... back in the dark ages when 9600 baud was hot stuff. In the nineties I worked in Dallas, Texas at the now-defunct Super Collider. After it was shutdown (and divorced) I contracted for Caltex, Mobil, ARCO and Motorola then decided to move back east. Did some more contract for Wyeth-Ayerst Research.

BTW: I think Macintosh computers are the best machines on the planet -- curious?
