Andrew Diamond was the first microcomputer consultant at Dartmouth College. He graduated from Dartmouth Summa Cum Laude with B.A. degrees in both Computer Science and Biology. While still an undergraduate, he was asked to help teach computer graphics at the school of engineering. During the same period, Dr. Diamond wrote the first data transfer programs between the dispartate college mainframes. As well, he was asked by Dr. John Kemeny, the founder of the BASIC computer language, to write the first compilers for BASIC when moving BASIC from an interpreted to a compiled environment. He attended Cornell Medical School, where he graduated at the top of his class. While still a student at Cornell Medical School, he created a distributed hypertext multimedia teaching system that works much like today's world wide web. The hypertext project was built while alpha testing the Macintosh II hardware for Apple Computer company. Dr. Diamond currently practices as a board certified Head and Neck Surgeon in Atlanta, GA. He is the president of Northside Ear, Nose, and Throat. He is the former chairman of Atlanta Ear, Nose, and Throat, which, at that time, was the largest Head and Neck Surgery group in the country. Dr. Diamond is the founder, as well, of DiamondPhone, a virtual cloud based application centric phone company.
