My wife Tahnia, a community volunteer, and I currently find our life centered on our daughter Tarah who is a senior at Notre Dame Preparatory.  Also bringing joy to our life is Mark, a son, who is raising our very cute six year old twin grandchildren.  Paradise Valley, Arizona is our home base, but holidays and summers are spent in our mountain home in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. An unobstructed view of the continental divide and abundant wildlife provide an irresistible draw and dramatic contrast to the desert botanical gardens at our Paradise Valley home.  My early and enduring interest in technology led me to become a founder of a company named MicroAge, www.microage.com , 34 years ago. Just as the high tech industry continues to evolve; so does MicroAge. Originally one of the first computer stores in the nation, MicroAge went on to become a Fortune 500 company and the largest global technology franchisor. Today, MicroAge specializes in providing information technology to mid size organizations nationally.  My experiences after Catalina High School which led to MicroAge include earning a BS and a MBA from the University of Arizona, five years as a Air Force Captain and Chief of Data Automation in Tokyo, Japan and six years as Vice President and Head of Electronic Data Processing for a large Arizona bank.  Aside from family and work, my other passions are flying and photography. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to pilot everything from biplanes to business jets. In addition to being fun, flying allows my family to quickly travel between our homes. My favorite photography subjects, aside from my family, are people and wildlife. Examples of my images can be found at www.pbase.com/jmckeever.
