Christy Ramsey has service in his soul. As he notes, "I always like to help". Christy serves young people, parolees, and others who take classes at Computer Corps (https://www.computercorps.org) in Carson City, where Christy has volunteered more than 10,000 hours. One of his favorite projects is the annual tech camp for kids 9 to 15. At the end of camp they are given a refurbished computer. Computer Corps is wholistic, providing more than skills training. Lunch is provided for volunteers and students, and there is a food pantry for those who are food insecure.

Christy is administrative head for the Presbyterian churches in Nevada. This involves mediating problems and applying the Presbyterian Book of Order. As a side gig, Christy hosts a weekly call in radio program, "Battle Born Tech" Tuesdays at 8:00 PM on KNVC, where he advises on a wide variety of technical subjects (https://knvc.org/show/197813/battle-born-tech).

Married for 44 years, Christy's secret to a successful marriage is great patience, adding, "I married someone who is very patient and forgiving." The Ramsey's live with a German Shepherd / Huskey dog. Like so many Mensan's, Christy likes to read. Presently he is working through Liu Cixin's "Remembrance of Earth's Past" trilogy (The Three-Body Problem, The Dark Forest, and Death's End, https://tinyurl.com/mr2f9k5j).

Christy is able to present information on a wide variety of topics while  projecting a composed presence, a great sense of humor, and maintaining a positive  classroom environment.

His patience, enjoyment, and kindness...was always apparent and appreciated.
Therese Torgerson
Not surprisingly, coming from a pastoring background, Christy had excellent people and communication skills. What was surprising, considering his background, was just how skilled he was in IT and software.
