My name is Scott Klement, but my friends usually call me "Scotty." I live in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA area.

I am a IBM i Senior Computer Programmer, IT Manager, Solutions Architect and Product Architect. I have worked in this industry informally since I was a young boy and it became my career in 1993.

I am a long time volunteer with the industry user groups, especially COMMON, where I have served in many volunteer capacities. Over my career, I have published over 1000 articles in trade magazines, and given thousands of educational talks at computer conferences. I have won dozens of awards, and am a long-standing IBM Champion for Power Systems.

In my personal life, I have a son born in 2005 who is the pride of my existence. His mother and I were together from 1991 - 2023 (married from 2000-2023) but since have split up.

My hobbies include Toastmasters, Inc., gaming of all sorts (cards, board games, role-playing games, video games), and robotics.
