Ted DeCorte . . .
. . .is a husband and father in southern Nevada. A graduate of Scottsdale Arcadia High School, Arizona State University (B.S.), and the University of Nevada at Las Vegas (M.A.), Ted moved to Nevada from Phoenix, Arizona in the mid-1970s.
Ted has a varied background in business, government and education, serving in operations for First National Bank of NV (now Wells Fargo), in fundraising for the Jerry Lewis Telethon & Muscular Dystrophy Association, as a college history instructor and high school teacher and administrator, as district director for Congressman James H. Bilbray (D-NV), as a website entrepreneur (www.smartwomeninvest.com & www.christinedecorte.com), as a vice president of operations & business development for a Nevada-based dental HMO, and as a writer & consultant. His writings have been featured in publications for conservation, business, chambers of commerce, seniors, as well as in a column, “Not Ready for The New York Times”.

Ted received his Master's degree in U.S. History from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, in 1979, where he was a member of Phi Kappa Phi and Phi Alpha Theta honoraries. He also pursued post-graduate work in educational administration and human resource management.
At Arcadia High School in Phoenix, and in college he moonlighted as a percussionist for a singing group that included at various times: Lynda Carter (“Wonder Woman”) and Dianne Kay (“Eight Is Enough” / ”1941”). He has written and published songs for rock, country, jazz and chamber ensembles. In 1993, Ted peered into a empty bag of potato chips as the “dad” in a humorous “Vegas Chips” advertising campaign that proclaimed “You Gotta Hold ‘em.”

As an eclectic student of Emerson, Ernest Holmes, Thomas Troward, as well as Oxford evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, Ted states,
"When I was in my teens, I naively believed that by the time Baby Boomers "ruled the world" poverty would be eliminated, racial tensions would be diminished through interracial marriages, wars would be obsolete, and religions would be nothing more than past superstitious belief. I also thought we would be vacationing in space and zipping around town in flying vehicles or "car pooling" in mag-lev modular units."All Rights Reserved © 1998-2008 by Ted DeCorte.
