About the Author

Joe Zeigler has seen and done a lot. With degrees in engineering and business administration, he has also explored many interests, including fighting fires in Virginia, racing motorcycles professionally for ten years, and writing a manual for racers after starting the Penguin Road Racing School in 1981. During his long career in computers (over thirty years), Zeigler launched six computer stores and the nation's first computer discount warehouse. He wrote FirePrograms, a software package for fire departments, as well as the world's first PC-based UPS shipping manifest software.

After retiring from motorcycle racing, Zeigler learned how to fly an airplane. When Zeigler isn't writing books or software programs, he can be found bicycling, reading, or cooking-he even has his own hot sauce. He lives in Asheville, North Carolina, with his wife, and he has a daughter who works for Apple.
