I've had a few old guys on my teams in the past and they've been great. You aren't old. They were 55+. When I interview people, age does not concern me (45 wouldn't even make me blink). It is only if I think that person will be an asset to my team. And if they are, why should age bother me? More important questions I ask myself is: Is this person going to be self sufficient or are they going to need a lot of assistance? Is this person a generally positive person who is willing to communicate with others and me about any struggles they are having so we can fix it? etc...
