Jim Downs

I'm a boomer from Southern Indiana, went to Purdue, graduated as an Electrical Engneer. I own and run a small software engineering firm focusing on Financial Technology for Capital Markets.

 

I'm a former member of the Chicago Board of Trade and Chicago Board Options Exchange. I worked for the Central Intelligence Agency in Langley, Va. during the Iranian Hostage Crisis.

 

I've been happily married for more that 3 decades. My wife and I have two fantastic daughters each independently pursuing their dreams in Los Angeles and Austin.

 

I'm an avid rower. I like to use a bicycle as a form of transportation.

 

I'm only doing this page to see what is available in web site creation tools so don't expect much more than this.

 

I really don't care about telling people about myself as I fall slightly on the introvert side of the spectrum.
