Part Three

It was early June 2003.  I had been paying for my failed company’s client websites out of my own pocket for a few months.  I started dreaming about a new business that would arise from the ashes of ICTS.  I would maintain control of it and it would at this point serve the customers and clients of ICTS.  Whitfield Enterprises was the name I came up with and I registered the domain name whitfieldenterprises.com on June 28, 2003.

Part Two

I graduated from Plainsburg with 12 others that year. I know, such a big class. The summer before my freshman year of High School, my parents let me fly to Florida to spend a few weeks with my grandmother.

It was at this point that I got to explore the internet without the guidance of a teacher on the AOL Browser.  I was enamored by the shear pioneerism of the internet.  It was 1997, Yahoo was the major search engine, AOL was still the major Internet Service Provider and Juno was offering free email accounts.  Internet businesses were rising up left and right and I was determined to figure out what the fuss was all about.

I am often asked how much schooling I have done to become so knowledgeable in computers. Truth is I took one computer science course at Fresno State (which I eventually dropped) and a typing class in High School. My college degree is in Social Science, not Technical Studies and I don’t hail from Stanford University. I am a homegrown Techy that just naturally understood computers.

Here we will start to post frequent information about the ranch.  Each of the family members should be contributing something every month, whether it be reflections, comments, information, etc.
