After a 22 year Navy career working with computers and electronics, Darril Gibson set a goal for himself. He decided he wanted to become a full-time author and write books that help others. He authored, coauthored, or contributed to more than 40 books. One of his true joys in life was receiving emails from readers letting him know about their successes after using one of his books.
