A Life at Full Speed:
A Journey of Struggle and Discovery
The Honorable Charles Herzfeld, PhD served as the Director of the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) in the ’60s and is often remembered as the “Godfather of the Internet.” This project included complete production and publication of his autobiography. It was an honor to work across the table from him, hear his life story, and help bring his legacy to print before his 2017 passing at the age of 91. The paperback and ebook versions are available on Amazon.
I completed the editing, design, layout, typesetting, and proofreading for this Potomac Institute for Policy Studies publication. I worked closely with the author to finalize the text and secure copyright permissions. After completing all relevant publishing requirements, I set the title up for distribution on behalf of Dr. Herzfeld and the Institute.
