A post 40 year old life long geek. I have loved computers since my first Commodore VIC-20. Started selling software while I was in school through BBS systems. Joined the army, flew around a lot in helicopters, and then came back to software. Have built and sold a few companies around software concepts. Decided that running very small companies was distracting me from that love of solving problems with computers. I am now at Microsoft, seeing how the big boys build software. Life is a journey. The little bumps in the road that take you off course are part of that journey. You only experience life by learning to enjoy the ride.
