About Richard

This is the personal category, the posts where the subject is me directly: where I came from, how I think, what I have done, and the experiences that made me who I am. If you want to understand the person behind the writing, start here.

I am Richard Lowe Jr, an author, professional ghostwriter, photographer, and former Director of Computer Operations with more than three decades in enterprise technology. But none of those titles explain much on their own. The posts in this category fill in the rest: the childhood that shaped me, the work that defined a long stretch of my life, the people I loved and lost, and the way I came to see the world.

These are not resume entries. They are the actual stories, told plainly, including the parts that are not flattering. I have always believed you understand a person better through their specific experiences than through a list of accomplishments.

If you are here because you want to know who is writing all of this, these posts are the honest answer.
