He grew up in Charleston, South Carolina, before relocating to Atlanta in 1955 to attend Georgia Tech. Neil graduated in 1959 with a degree in Engineering and went on to have a distinguished 34-year career with IBM. After retiring, he continued his work with AT&T, remaining active and engaged throughout his life.
