Starting on the TRS-80 Color Computer II, in BASIC, he wrote several small text-based games and simple inventory applications. After leaving the Music program at the University of Massachusetts, J. F. moved into professional computer development; working for the United States Department of Defense, Walt Disney Imagineering, TechData, and The Walt Disney Company.
