Computers and the Internet are nothing new to Kim Komando. After all, she was only nine years old when she first sat at a computer. You could say that this was the start of what industry journal Information Week calls"a one-person PC industry."

Born and raised in New Jersey, Kim headed west to Arizona State University in 1985. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Systems, which she financed by providing computer hardware and software training classes. She went on to secure a position as a Marketing Representative with IBM and after some time, made a career move to AT&T as a large business systems Account Manager, where she received various awards for her sales achievements. Unisys Corporation next benefited from Kim's many talents. She made company history by single-handedly closing the largest commercial deal that year with an $11 million sale to a Fortune 500 company in 1991. It was during her Unisys career that Kim began writing her weekly syndicated newspaper column and hosting radio and television programs.

Today, Kim Komando reaches more than 40 million people monthly. Maybe you've read her weekly syndicated newspaper computer column in over 100 Gannett Newspapers or her Question and Answer column in the USA Today. You might have read one of her regular features in Talkers Magazine or Bcentral.com (to name just a couple of publications).

It could be that you've simply referred to one of Kim's books for expert advice; they include 401 Great Letters; 101 Komando Internet Tips, Tricks & Secrets; 1,001 Komputer Answers; CyberBuck$: Marketing Your Business and Products Online; Dummies 101: Creating Web Pages; The 50 Biggest Computer Mistakes (And how to avoid them!); and her latest publication, The 50 Greatest Secrets of Digital Photography.

As if that were not enough, on the weekends, as "America's Digital Goddess®," Kim Komando will take your calls on her top-rated syndicated talk radio show - one the top ten most-listened-to programs in the United States.
