Ceil Kessler writes our weekly dose of fun, “Ask Ceil”. She has been writing since she was a small child, at first in kindergarten with crayons, moving to pencils in first grade, and pens shortly thereafter. She was introduced to the computer later in life, and immediately stopped writing and began to surf the internet. Years later, she realized that you could also write stuff on a computer, and that’s where we are today.
She now consults on business intelligence software, markets and publishes the magazine “Business Perks“, and runs the Laurel Highlands Vegetarian Society.
