About the Reviewer

Kevin Earley has always been passionate about technology. In high school, he picked up programming as a hobby. After high school, he entered the United States Air Force, where he was an electronic technician for about 9 years.

While in the USAF, he had multiple opportunities to program several utility applications for his shop. Later, Kevin left the USAF to begin a career in software development with his best friend, Mark Bowren.

Over the last 22 years, Kevin has worked for multiple companies across dozens of industries. Kevin has worked with many different technologies, but his primary expertise is with Microsoft products.

Among Kevin’s skills and talents is writing, especially technical and factual writing. Over the years, Kevin has had many opportunities to write professionally--things such as technical manuals, tests, and some religious studies. His interest in writing is what brought Kevin to Packt. One day, when he retires, Kevin hopes to write a great deal more.

Kevin currently resides in Chicago, Illinois, with his three young children, Noelani, Eliana, and Matthew “Max” Alexander.
