TB Ragsdale Bio The birth of the home computer gave life to the Toby we know today. We are not sure if the computer created, or just displayed the obsessive-compulsive nature of Toby. Upon mastering one facet of computing after another, soon Toby found himself commanding networks. By the time Toby was twenty-five he had designed and implimented a system used throughout the St. Paul Federal Bank network. By the age of twenty-eight Toby was elected an "Officer of the Bank" of First Chicago/NBD, Bank One. He headed a group created around his unique desires and skills, the Emergancy Response Unit, for Bank One before being lured to California, moving with his soon-to-be wife. At thirty he became Director of Network & Telecommunications for a growing company in Carpinteria (Santa Barbara) California, where he spent nine plus years building and maintaining a impressive network. Toby's need to build and develop has led to Ragsdale Information Technology Consulting (a member benefit network). Toby is also a avid woodworker, and new father.
