Bob White celebrates his Gemini self by working in theatre and computerizing healthcare.

In his money-making capacity, Bob is a Senior Systems Engineer at Virginia Mason Medical Center (where he has worked since 1991). After swearing that he would have nothing to do with computers when he entered college, Bob slowly but surely "geeked out", starting with a play written on a friend's Macintosh 128 ("Five Models of Bipedality in Early Hominids - A Comedy") to his first computer a year later (a Mac Plus). From there, things became inevitable: hardware as varied as every Mac ever made and PCs with 5.25 inch floppy drives to HP Alpha GS1280s with 80 gigs of RAM, 18 CPUs, and several terabytes of attached storage; software like DOS, Windows, Unix, OpenVMS, and (of course) the MacOS. Is that geeky enough?

Of course, his opposite face lives in the world of make-believe. Bob started acting in elementary school, continued through high school and, in college, had it pointed out to him that people who liked telling actors what to do are called Directors. Bob focused on Shakespeare in college: the text, directing, and acting and that foundation has led him across the country doing almost every kind of theatre there is in almost every capacity (no costumes, though - Bob can't sew, doesn't know a hem from a dart, and generally thinks anything the actors are wearing looks great). Since 1997 Bob has worked with a new works development company called City 3 Theater, and is currently serving as Artistic Director.

Where both sides of Bob's personality meet is at home, where he teaches, plays, fixes the household computing devices (6, at the moment), and tries to be a good husband and dad.
