My name is Fred Kohn

This is who I am:

  1. HTML Programmer
  2. Musician
  3. Letter Carrier
  4. Father
  5. Husband
  6. Christian

HTML Programmer

Rather pretentious sounding, eh? Kinda like calling a mailman a "hard data transfer engineer". I've been poking around on PC's for a few years now, and recently got involved in HTML language. So far I've coded everything "by hand" but I imagine as this site grows I'll have to spring for one of those fancy-dancy HTML generators.Check out my list of people who inspired me to do this.

Some people use their internet sites for business, others for pleasure. I choose to view my site as a substitute for the "book I never published." Everyone says they want to write a book someday, and this site is mine!

Musician

When I first put up this website I wrote: "This is a really close 5th to 'postal worker'. My BA is in music, and if pushed I'm sure I could probably make a living in music. But of course I've got this great government job..."
Since that time I've obtained 2 (!) paying gigs. Maybe this is my way out of the Postal Service. Check out my new music endeavor Pianomoods.

Letter Carrier

It's what I do for at least 40 hours out of 168. The only thing I do more is sleep! Then why don't I list it as #1? Well, because even when I'm on the job, I spend a lot of time thinking about my last 3 roles:

Father

When my son Jacob was 14 he got his first job. Even as my heart swelled with pride I had to ask myself: "I wonder how some of the stuff I say about my work is going to influence him now that he's in the workforce? Being a dad is actually tougher than being a postal worker, isn't it. I've only got one route, but I've got 3 children (all teenagers now, *huge sigh*). By the way, Jacob is 16 now and has his own new!web site. I also have a daughter Anya (20) and another son Chad (15).

Husband

This reverse ranking of priorities I've used in this page reflects what, if push came to shove, I'd let go first. If you let your work get in the way of your spouse and children, shame on you! There's no one on earth that comes close to Nancy on my chart of priorities. What a woman! She recently struggled with a multitude of medical problems but despite all the ups and downs she was always there for me and the kids.

Christian

"Do you really mean to tell me, Fred, that you'd sacrifice all those things you just listed for the sake of some peasant whom the Romans crucified in the 1st century along with thousands of other peasants?" Well, in a word, absolutely! Please understand, I'm just another guy amongst a few billion in this world, and we all know what opinions are worth. If you're curious as to why I would believe this Jesus guy, feel free to ask me; but if you want to know what's really true, don't ask me, (or anyone for that matter) except the one guy that has the answers. If you don't know who that person is, ask God. (He knows).

e-mail me! Fred
