Elliot Hamilton has been involved with IBM's MVT, VS1, SVS, XA, and numerous variations of MVS since the mid 1970s. He gained VSAM and catalog expertise through experience as a systems Programmer and as a System Engineer and Instructor for Amdahl Corporation. As one of the early instructors for Mainstar Software Corporation (formerly Software Information Services, Inc. - SIS ), Elliot worked closely with Ron Ferguson presenting VSAM and ICF Catalog classes around the world, but with a special concentration on Western Europe, the U.K., and Scandinavia. When Mainstar's customers' needs changed, Elliot worked with the Mainstar Software Development staff on numerous projects, including Catalog RecoveryPlus (CR+) and VSAM Manager. Currently, Elliot provides Level 3 Support for CR+, using his expertise in identifying tricky and difficult problems within ICF catalogs to search out brilliant CR+ solutions. On a personal note, Elliot enjoys private aviation, motorcycling, home-brewing, and the local Lions Club. As a part owner of a Piper Comanche single-engine aircraft, Elliot has flown to both U.S. coasts, southern Canada, and the Florida Keys. Elliot lives with his wife, Tanja, in the Chicago area. His son serves overseas with the U.S. Army and his daughter lives in North Carolina. |
