Having a two path career Gerald Greene spent 20 years in education and 20 years in computers. With an MS in special education from the University of Wisconsin and Wisconsin Level A Certification, he has taught and/or supervised at the district, regional services agency, and college levels. His computer career evolved to regional and multiple state vertical market sales in the automotive area. From childhood educational failures he has "walked the walk" himself and his "bottom-up" perspective drives him to help the ever-growing numbers of individuals whose education and life function are limited because of low reading function. He achieves this using text-to-speech technology.
