Mike Hourigan
ReferenceWorks Programmer
mhourigan@igc.org
In 1981, Mike received a B.S. in Computer Science from Cal Poly, San Luis
Obispo, with an emphasis on business and the emerging personal computer field.
He worked for two years for Hewlett-Packard. Although it was a good corporation
to work for, the corporate life wasn't for him, so when the Apple Lisa (the
predecessor of the Macintosh) was introduced, Mike knew it was time to leave
Hewlett-Packard and write free-lance programs. For two years he wrote free-lance
programs for the Lisa and then the Macintosh when it was introduced. He also
wrote a small program for the Amiga.
In 1986, Mike met David, who was returning
a kayak to his roommate. Mike learned that David was looking for a Macintosh
programmer who had experience with outlining programs, programmed using the C
programming language, and was available. Oddly enough, most of Mike’s work was
on the Macintosh using C, and he had just worked on an outline processor for the
Amiga, and was available for a new project at the time! Everything fit together
so well. So Mike hooked up with David to program MacRepertory and, later,
ReferenceWorks. 17 years later Mike is still with David, making additions to the
programs. David and Mike have enough ideas for new features that will last KHA
until at least the year 2118. Although Mike is often behind the scenes, his
patience, fortitude and intelligence are an irreplaceable part of KHA’s
momentum.
William Smith
MacRepertory Programmer
netsmith2001@comcast.net
Billy’s passion as a child for all things mechanical segued naturally into
computers when the personal microcomputer revolution arrived in Berkeley in the
early 1970's. He had worked on many software projects over the years from word
processors to communications networks both in the Mac and Windows worlds before
finding the nurturing community of KHA. He began working with KHA in the early
1990's and he was instrumental in the creation of the Windows version of the
popular MacRepertory program. After about 2 years of intense work, KHA was
finally able to ship MacRepertory and ReferenceWorks in Windows. After a brief
hiatus to work at Broderbund, where he took on the challenge of software
management, he gained an invaluable wealth of knowledge about the software
development process. But KHA is where he belonged and as of 2003, he was back
working with the team and adding new features to MacRepertory.
Declan Flannery
Technical Support
email@igc.org
Declan is back on board as tech support! After a move across the
country and back again, he found himself back with the KHA family - and boy are
we happy! It takes a special person to be able to help confused and panicked
customers sort through their computer problems, but Declan manages to remain
calm and patient through it all. His charming Irish wit often helps to bring a
smile, even during the most stressful times. Declan and his wife have just had
their second child, another boy, and now have a house full of activity and joy.
Tracy Liston
KHA Europe Office Manager
orders@khaEurope.us
Tracy is our most important staff member outside of the US. When customers or dealers need help Tracy is the person that they go to; she is wonderfully helpful, kind and efficient. In addition to saving-the-day on a regular basis Tracy manages the general running of the UK office. Prior to joining the KHA team, Tracy ran a small limited company before taking a summer off, which somehow led to three years of gardening!
