About the Author
John R Ragan, Captain, USAFR(Ret), BS, MBA, MS
Your Captain lived the typical life of a boy growing up in Southeast Texas. That’s if you define typical as – as far away from normal as possible.
While unimaginable today, John was the only student in his high school with computer experience as a result of taking college classes the summer before and during his senior year. That same year he was a national semi-finalist in Junior Achievement’s Treasurer of the Year contest.
This started the trend of explaining automation, accounting, and financial matters to his peers and superiors, continuing though his time in the Air Force and in technology management and financial analyst positions in the private sector.
John Ragan served as a Captain in the US Air Force including tours in Europe and in the above top secret world of nuclear planning at The Pentagon.
Your Captain has logged over 30,000 hours of self-study to overcome the indoctrination of his military training and his formal education including graduate degrees in information systems and finance. So fasten your seat belt and prepare for some interesting journeys.
