Biography
Born north of Seattle, WA.
Undergrad a long time ago at Western Washington Univ.
After graduating, I joined EDS SED program and moved to Denver/Boulder, CO. FYI, Boulder is a great place to live. While with EDS, I moved between accounts and thus various technical opportunities and locations. Ultimately, I ended up back in the NW at Poulsbo Resource Center, where my last project was developing the FIDS (Flight Info Display Sys) for McCarran Airport (LAS). Note: ported it to the Bellagio for conference displays in less then 4 weeks.
I moved to a content management company (Vignette) during the Dotcom era. I consider it to be a privilege to part of some booms and busts (ex. HomeGrocer). Ultimately, Vignette contracted back to Austin and was bought by OpenText. It was a fun and eye-opening time.
I have moved on to a couple companies since that era, Cobalt Group, which consisted of Dealer Tools (Websites ~15k, Lead Mgmt ~9k, etc), and Assurz (Purchase Guarantee Insurance).
I am now working for Investors Title, a title insurance underwriter based in NC. Over the past 6 years, we have replaced/upgraded every legacy system and application. We are now able move into new and interesting funcitonality.
I have a wife and two kids. I am getting back in school as they are graduating (Appalachian State and UNC Wilmington).
