Gerald Freeman - Webmaster
Gerald Freeman - Webmaster (gerald@gerlin.net)
Gerald and his wife Linda rode into the equestrian community just short of their 50th birthdays.
Arriving in brand new cowboy boots, hats, jeans, and shirts, it took all the willpower available for the stable hands to control their laughter. For Gerald and Linda, it was a rude introduction to the concept of ‘saddle-sore’ and a magical moment.
Currently, Gerald and Linda have been acquired by five horses ranging from a feisty Mustang Mare to a gentle, albeit mischievous, Percheron Gelding. As avid trail riders, gymkhana competitors, and friends of gravity, horses have become a central focus in their lives.
Gerald is currently the Webmaster for several local stables, gymkhana clubs, and equine related businesses. He is also a California Gymkhana Association Judge and wears his riding helmet religiously.
A free-lance consultant specializing in software and web site design and development, Gerald Freeman focuses on bridging the gap between business (“Suits”) and technology (“Twinkie-eaters”). As a “facilitator of dialog” (a gregarious extrovert), Gerald is able to extract detailed requirements and business rules from clients and end users (i.e. ‘what is said vs. what is meant).
Gerald Freeman was founder and President of Functional Solutions Group, Inc., a Microsoft Certified Partner engaged in designing and developing functional solutions for business, industry and education.
Every horse he rides becomes his teacher and reminds him just how little he knows about anything.
