This is the home page of Steven "Nevets" Ryckman. If you are looking for my shareware software or the Ryckman Family Tree, they are no longer public links. Email me at info <at> nevets.net (replace the <at> with an @ sign of course) if you want access to either of these.
I am currently the VP of Technical Services with SIMS, Inc. in Plano Texas, a software manufacturer for the Alarm/Security Industry. I also volunteer with the Plano Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association and am currently the CAPP Chairperson and driving instructor. I also volunteer as a crew member or crew chief for several hot air balloons at the Plano Balloon Festival. I am a former FireFighter, PD/FD Dispatcher and alarm company owner/installer. I write a blog of my random thoughts and enjoy spending time and traveling with my wife and two teenage boys in my spare time.
The background on this website was changed to black on September 11th, 2001 to constantly remind us of the loss of life that occurred on that day. On June 27th, 2009 it was changed to the American flag, as I believe it is time to move forward, but never to forget. The flag in the background should serve as a constant reminder of the patriotism of the brave men and women who lost their lives protecting our country that day and in the days since.
