My name is Bernard Howe and I was born in 1946 in a small Midwestern town in Illinois in the USA.

My mother was an Irish immigrant and my father was a returning soldier from WWII. I attended school there then joined the navy. I got married and moved to Arizona where we raised 2 children and now they have given me 3 grandkids.

I still live in Arizona and work as many positions for a construction company.
I am a project manager / estimator and I also run our AutoCAD department.

I became interested in computers in the mid 1990's and bought my computer in 1997 and started learning how to build websites ever since.
I started teaching basic html at Web Tech University in 1998 and then advanced classes in 1999; I started getting into teaching css in 2002.

I have since developed my genealogy web site called "My link in Time" and now have my own award program called "Keepsake Awards".

I evaluate for many award programs and enjoy meeting and helping people improve their web sites for W3C and WAI accessibility.
