Bowker Biography:
Michael Robert Gorman

Born and raised as Michael Robert Gorman in New Jersey. After completing high school, Mike entered the Army and was stationed in Germany with the 2nd of the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment. He patrolled the east/west German border. After being honorably discharged he moved out to Denver, Colorado. He is married to his wife Cheryl and they have a daughter Lilly.

In 1986 he started Computer Cabling and Peripheral Installation (CCPI) by himself. Over the next 16 years he built the company up to 40 employees and two million a year in gross revenue. The computer and telephone market was changing by leaps and bounds, and trying to keep ahead of it by training his employees was Mike’s major focus. He began writing “Mike’s Basic Guide to Cabling Computers and Telephones” back in 1989. It was designed to give his employees a clear idea on how to perform their jobs. He published the book in 1997 through Prairie Wind Communications, Inc., a company that he and his wife Cheryl had started. Soon after in 1998 he published his second book “Mike’s Basic Guide to Cabling Computers and Telephone in Homes and Apartments”. Both books have been constantly updated as the technology progresses. In 1993, Bob Kyle the director of NACSE (National Association of Communications Systems Engineers) asked Mike to develop a course on the physical cabling infrastructure for colleges. The following books “Student Outline Workbook” and the “Instructors Training Manual” are used with his main book on cabling as a textbook. These courses are used in Colleges and high schools today.
