About

I’m Deb, founder of debwire.com, debwire.net and debwire.org. I currently hail from the state of Florida and will be moving back north. I arrived in Florida almost 7 years ago by way of New York, Maryland and Maine. I’m an east coast girl and still a Yankee at heart.

I’m a professional whose career has mostly been in information technology. With an educational background in business, in 2009 I went back to school to expand and solidify my knowledge of project and information technology management. While I have the technical background, my real interest is applying more of what I know to the business side of an organization.

I’m also a mother and grandmother.

Since the early 90s I’ve consistently had a voice on the Web in a variety of ways. A few years ago I reached burnout and took a break. In 2010, I feel “ready” to return…hopefully refreshed, more wise, and with a lot to share.

Sharing one’s thoughts, opinions, and knowledge with oodles of people we don’t know can at times make a person feel vulnerable…too open…too exposed. Having grown into my own skin I’ve reached a comfortable point in my life where I feel my voice is a good one, is solid, deserves to be heard, and for the most part not swayed by a fear of what other people will think. Naww… I’ve always gone against the grain so I’m not about to acquiesce just to be liked or accepted now.

There’s no “pretending” on my site. I don’t pretend to be something I’m not. I don’t pretend that there’s an army of worker bees behind this site. Nope, there’s just me.

For now.

While much of what I write about relates to some of my top interests (computing, internet and smartphone technologies, for example), some topics that fall into my “opinion” category might be considered controversial or debatable. That’s fine. I couldn’t resist integrating current events, etc. into my site because what’s happening in the world is on the top of my list too. It’s my site, my voice and at times I can be very raw. I invite others to join me in the conversation. Politely.

Aside:

A lot of people ask how I came up with debwire. Well…

The name is a play on a word commonly found in official news organizations covering a myriad of topics and issues: “newswire.” “Debwire” is my personalized version and platform.
