Leslie Fisher’s interest in technology began while studying music
at the University of Southern California. She quickly
realized the value of utilizing computers for music
mixing and recording. She grabbed her 300 baud modem,
jumped on the Internet (before anyone really called it
the internet) and started looking for music resources.
She soon realized she was spending more time discovering
technology than playing music so she changed her major
and tried to figure out what geeky thing she could do
for the rest of her life.
After graduating from USC with a Business and Marketing degree in
1989 and a quick stint as a Trainer, Leslie joined Apple
Computer in 1992. When the Internet took off in 1994,
Leslie was one of the first Apple employees assigned to
study the Internet growth and implementation. |

In 1997, Leslie was roadkill on Apple’s road to recovery and part
of their massive layoff. Leslie planned to spend most of
her huge severance package golfing and waiting a few
months to look for a job. The day after her layoff, her
phone began to ring with Apple customers requesting
consulting, training and presentation services. Before
she could say fore, Fisher Technologies Inc. was created
to help educators with their technology implementations
and decisions.
Fisher Technologies is now a worldwide company (meaning one
employee named Leslie gets to travel the world teaching)
specializing in Web Development, Web Tools as well as
Digital Photography, Editing and Workflow.
