Road Show

Data Directions is excited about going live with "Ask The PropellerHeads, the Seminar". For your next meeting, DDI will provide a host and a panel of experts that are prepared to lead or have an open discussion about those opportunities, problems and questions that arise on a daily basis as we learn to master our computers and business technology.

We promise to make our seminar a valuable and entertaining experience for your group. It is mainly directed towards personal use of computers and business technology, however, our esteemed panel of PropellerHeads will answer even the most complex technical question with an easy to understand answer and, usually will provide advice on where to find more information. To get things going, we will come prepared with a list of typically asked questions for your group to use as a guide. Or, if your group has a specific technology or application that they want to learn about, we will come prepared to bring it to life in our seminar.

Our host and the PropellerHeads are introduced below. See our archives for samples of questions that might be asked and answered in the seminar.

Brad Reedy - Panel Host/ Moderator
Lead Project Manager, Manager of Staff Development, Data Directions Inc.
Brad is a nerd with an attitude, but it's a good attitude. He's as comfortable in a bar in Tijuana as he is leading a systems design meeting with the company president and the whole IT department. He is one of the original inventors/developers of Fantasy Football and is a major contender in the league he is Commissioner of, hmmm? As Host/Moderator, Brad is responsible for keeping the seminar stimulating, informative and provocative, a responsibility for which he is well suited... he has no shame.

Mark Creery
President, Data Directions Inc.
Mark is our Chief PropellerHead, the kind of guy who reads computer programming manuals for relaxation while on vacation. He was the kid in high school with the thick eyeglasses and slide rule sticking out of his pants pocket. He owns the world's largest collection of hand held calculators and has published a book on their evolution. Mark has taught computer programming workshops for years and has a special talent for making technology exciting, interesting and manageable.

Eric Gracyalny
Web Developer, Programmer, Data Directions Inc.
It was Eric who built the Internet, not Al Gore. Eric began writing code for computers at age 10 when he discovered that he could connect his father's Commodore 64 to his middle school's computer system to change grades and attendance records in exchange for Little Debbies and cash. Eric's dry sense of humor and comfort level with how it all works is a show in itself.

Chris Roberts
Web Developer, Programmer, Data Directions Inc.
Chris writes code faster than a Pentium 4 can read it. He has won several International "Johnny Mnemonic" Competitions in addition to the coveted "Console Cowboy" Award for his blazing fingers and programming prowess. He recently faced off in Moscow against the 17-year-old Russian prodigy Dexie Rodchenko to bring the "Platinum Cyborg" Award back to America. Chris is intense but delights in sharing his knowledge with us normal folk.
