I grew up in a northern suburb of Toronto where I developed early interest in electronics and ham radio. The Bible tells us that God has chosen the “time and place” in which we live (Acts 17:26). I am grateful that I was born in a time that brought the invention of the first computer on a chip, the introduction of the first personal computers, the Internet, and many other exciting technologies that have since changed the world. I tinkered with many of the early personal computers, beginning with the ZX81 (which I purchased with money earned from my paper route) and other early personal computers like the Vic-20, C-64, Commodore PET, and early IBM PC’s. I am grateful that my vocation eventually brought me to a place where I was encouraged to think more deeply about how how faith informs our work in technology. I am also grateful that my earlier years of tinkering as a hobbyist could inspire some of my later work with platforms like the Raspberry Pi, including being able to share my delight in computing with folks in various majority world countries.
