Michael has been developing in FoxPro since it was first introduced as Fox BASE, and was using dBASE II and dBASE III+ prior to that. He's been in computers since 1977, and has also developed (or still is) in Perl/CGI, Visual Basic, VBA, ASP, Cognos, HTML, Java Script, C, C++, Assembler, RAMIS, FORTRAN, and COBOL. He spent 10 years in the Air Force as a telecommunications technician and computer repairman.

Currently, he's the Database Administrator at Mentor Corporation, a global manufacturer of various healthcare products, where he specializes in office automation. For example, he developed a fully-automated process that pulls numerous sales reports from Oracle via Cognos Impromptu, that are exported to Visual FoxPro, which then generates formatted Excel spreadsheets, and emails the reports to the sales force and upper management. He also developed a web-based system that accepts data queries, retrieves the information, and emails the results to the requester, based on various levels of security.

Other organizations he has worked for include Sprint, Deckers Outdoor (Teva, Simple, UGG), and Snohomish County (WA). He also designs and hosts Web sites.

Michael's main part-time project is being the Webmaster for his wife, Sue, who is a Master Herbalist. The site is at www.ReynoldsOffice.com, and contains several thousand pages, where about 95% of the site is generated by a FoxPro inventory database, which in turn generates Perl code that provides the web content. The Perl code supports multiple hosted sites, and adjusts the look and feel for each site. He's also a part-time independent developer, and completed a project that assists in Public Works departments throughout the country to become accredited agencies.

He and his wife have a son named Joshua Amadon Reynolds, born on August 25th, 2000. They use principles developed by Dr. Glenn Doman (see www.iahp.org), that encouraged Joshua to begin crawling while less than three months old, and walking at ten months. Techniques are being used to develop Joshua in other areas, too (reading, math [he can already do simple algebra], encyclopedic knowledge [he can name practically every plant in our front yard], physical abilities), and the methods all put the emphasis on fun. Joshua always has a blast!
