Daniel G. Gough

Dan Gough was born in New Jersey, but left New Jersey in 1961 to seek his fortune in California. After graduating from UCLA in 1961 he escaped the draft by entering the Air Force and obtaining a commission as a second lieutenant in 1967. He recounts his 10-year saga in the Air Force with a great amount of humor and a large degree of irreverence in his book, The Final FIGMO. During this 10-year saga he recounts his assignments in Oklahoma, Vietnam, Thailand, Washington, D.C., Illinois, and his final stop in New Mexico. After leaving the Air Force in 1976, he joined the computer/electronics industry for the next 30+ years. He recounts his adventures in the fast-paced computer industry, Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) in his upcoming book, Eleven to One is a Tie. Dan is currently retired and lives in Greenville, S.C. with his wife, Josh, and their grand-cat Domino. Their two daughters are grown and living their own exciting lives. They dearly love visiting their two grandchildren as often as they can travel to Richmond. Dan is active with a volunteer group of veterans at the local V.A. and also teaches computer classes to seniors.
