Its been a long and winding road to this point, because I never had a map. Thankfully I had good lessons growing up which taught me hard work and curiosity would get me where I wanted. Thinking outside of the box, and not following the text book, has also served me well. For more than a decade I have worked in electronic components and marketing (and still do). In my spare time you can find me tinkering with various opensource projects or reading books on analytics or marketing --that is, when I'm not enjoying a great meal with my wife or being the IT department for my family.
