TALLAHASSEE, FL (WTXL) - A familiar face in the tech world stopped in Tallahassee Wednesday.

Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple, spoke at the Power Forward Speaker Series at the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center.

Wozniak, along with Steve Jobs, founded Apple back in 1976. He left the company in 1981. Jobs passed away in October 2011 after serving as the CEO and chairman of the company since its creation. Wozniak is currently the Chief Scientist for Fusion-io.
