My name is Stephen Crider and since you’ve already hit my site, have probably already figured that out.  I was born and raised in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania and have lived in the Perry County town of Duncannon for over 40 years. I am a veteran of the U.S. Air Force serving in England, Texas, and Washington from 1971 through 1975.

I’ve been married to my wife Terry for over 45 years and have a son and daughter and four grandchildren.

From the professional standpoint, I was a computer programmer since 1980 beginning with the IBM mid range line starting with the S/34, moving to the S/36 and finishing up with the AS/400. In 2005 I began the transition to the Microsoft technologies and currently hold an MCSD in Visual Basic 6 and an MCAD.NET in .NET technology. I am also skilled in Microsoft SQL Server and have also done development in Oracle but SQL Server is my strong suit.  I retired in 2020.

In my spare time, I coached girls slow-pitch softball for 20 years completing my final season in 2014.

I’ve always enjoyed writing fiction and ALEX will be my first published novel. I have a number of other completed works that I would consider publishing once ALEX is published.
