Welcome to dantharpmusic.com

Hi, I'm Dan Tharp and welcome to my website.

​

On this site you can listen to my music, watch my videos, and access my resume and other documents related to my being an IT (Information Technology) Professional.

​

I've been playing the guitar and writing my own music since I was a teenager.  I started playing the guitar with my Dad when I was pretty young--and believe it or not, I only had 1 string on my guitar at the time!  Later I took classical guitar and composition lessons with the intention of becoming a full time musician and composer as my career.

 

I almost went to college majoring in classical guitar/composition, but decided at the last minute to get into computer programming (starting with designing and writing game software on the TRS-80 Color Computer and then later on the Radio Shack Tandy 1000).

​

After graduating High School, I decided to go to college to get into the IT field.

I graduated from Illinois Central College with an Associates Degree and from Illinois State University with a Bachelors Degree in Applied Computer Science.

I've been in the IT field ever since.
