Lewis started working with computers in 1968. The first
machine utilized was an IBM-1130 which had 8 kilo-words
(no byte adressing) and 512 kilo-bytes of disk storage.
The langauage of the day was Fortran.

He managed the administrative and academic computing
facilities at Birmingham-Southern College for 19 years.
The hardware evolved from an enhanced IBM-1130 to an
HP-3000. Languages evolved from Fortran to Cobol,
C, and assembler.

After several years as a full-time graduate student at
the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Lewis obtained
a PhD. in computer science and returned to Birmingham-
Southern as a professor. He enjoyed teaching the upper-level
courses such as computer architecture, networking,
programming languages, and compiler design.

Lewis retired from BSC in May of 2011 and joined Whiteboard-IT
to continue learning and writing computer programs. He enjoys
trying to solve problems via programming computers. He
also enjoys running and watching Formula-1 racing.
