William Keeley, the author of "Tech Tactics Money Saving Secrets" and "Tech Tactics Publishing and Production Secrets," has the gift of high functioning autism and has been involved with computers and electronics for most of his life. While growing up, most of his peers were out playing sports or were involved in highly social activities while William was studying, researching, learning, programming, and making things. As a result of this, William has built up vast stores of knowledge and experience and wants to offer readers the benefits of thirty one years of study, experience, and hard work in computer related disciplines. In high school during the mid 1980's, William has won multiple awards at academic contests related to mathematics and computer science. Some of these include third place in Geometry at Chipola College Math Olympiad, first place in Computer Literacy at George C. Wallace College two years in a row, and third place in Computer Programming at George C. Wallace. He also won first place in Data Processing Concepts two years in a row in district Future Business Leaders Association of America. William has also helped both students and teachers with computer related questions and problems throughout his high school career and continues to do so to this day.
