Summary
Ben Kovitz said his first full-time programming job came at Information Management Systems, a small company in Encino, where he learned “most of what I know.”
The Wisconsin native moved to California for work in the 1980s, beginning a tech career far from Silicon Valley.
Kovitz said he grew up in Appleton, where heavy snow was routine and schools stayed open unless more than 26 inches fell overnight.
He spent about 15 years working in technology after relocating to Southern California.
