Magic Trading Area

Greetings and salutations! My name is Trent Bowman. I was born and raised in Broadway, VA, which is located at the upper end of the Shenadoah Valley about ten miles north of Harrisonburg, VA. My interests include:
 
  • Reading sci-fi/fantasy novels (Peirs Xanthony and David Eddings are two of my favorite authors)
  • Digital electronics
  • Mucking about with computers
  • The Transfomers: More than meets the eye!


  • My Education

    The Early, Formative Years

    I really loved kindergarden - where else can you play with blocks all day and have it count as education? The work was easy, the food was good, and I enjoyed myself. Then came middle school. I really detested middle school, though. Somehow, most kids turn into jerks in middle school. Middle school is a blot in my memory that I would rather keep as a blot. On to better things.

    The Big Time

    I entered The Big Time at Broadway High School. My freshman year of high school was forgettable. However, in my sophomore year, a driver's license changed my life. It enabled me to take part in Drama, VACE (Valley Academic Competition for Excellence), Band (Marching, Concert, and Jazz), and the Challenge program, as well as driving all my friends home after school.

    I graduated from James Madison University with a degree in Computer Science in 1998.


    My Job

    I am currently employed at Fairfield Language Technologies, a growing company that produces The Rosetta Stone, a foreign language learning system developed using Macromedia's Macromind Director. I make extensive use of AppleScript, MetroWerks CodeWarrior and Perl in the creation of our product.
