I Grab A Tiger By The Tail: Riding The Computer Revolution Wave (Appalachia To Silicon Valley And Back Again)

By Jessee B. Ring

This book traces the journey of a Southwest Virginia hillbilly from his early life in the tiny town of Narrows, Virginia to the jet-set, high-powered life of a Silicon valley corporate executive and international hi-tech consultant, and then his return to the land of his roots. Along the way, he faces many challenges, experiences triumph and failure, and encounters many ordinary and unusual people. Volume 1 covers the story from his birth to Mr. Jefferson's University of Virginia and on to graduate school in electrical engineering, after which he is poised to go places and do things. Volume 2 picks up there and chronicles his journey through computer technology evolution and on into the semiconductor industry in Silicon Valley, Asia, and India.
