From AcornWiki

Dave Murray serves on the Acorn IT Group management team as the Corporate Secretary, but also is an accomplished photographer and technical writer for the company.

Dave's passions have long been writing, literature, and science. As an elementary school teacher for 25+ years, he instilled a passion for learning in his students, encouraging them to become better writers, devour books, and explore their universe in creative ways. Dave opted to take an early retirement from teaching to be able to spend more time writing fiction and non-fiction books. Dave photographs and writes about historical sites in California and Nevada. He is also science fiction author and a member of a local sci-fi peer-editing group.

He wrote and edited a weekly newsletter for a Kiwanis Club, winning a "Top 5 Best" award from Kiwanis International. After completing the Technical Communicator RCE program at Sacramento State University, he added technical writing to his skills set. Dave also has worked as a retail store manager, customer service agent for a major insurance company, and has volunteered as an assistant Scout Master, earning the Wood Badge achievement for adult leadership. Today he lends that same level of professionalism to the Acorn IT Group.

Dave has a Bachelor's degree in Biology and a Masters in Education. He continues to take one or two computer courses each year to stay current in the field.
