Author Jim Cerny

Jim Cerny is a wayward geographer and enthusiastic digital photographer


My local connection includes growing up in Portsmouth in the house my great-grandparents built.  I spent most of my career in computing support at the University of New Hampshire.  I was also adjunct in that Geography Department, regularly teaching cartography.  In retirement, my wife of 56 years and I, settled in New Castle where my in-laws lived.
 
I now have the time to indulge my enthusiasms for local history and for digital photography, in the town of unlimited photo-ops.  One of my character defects is collecting slide rules and I confess that I’m a book-o-holic.
 
This drawing shows what I think I look like!
