Melody Pyland

I graduated from the University of Texas in 1990 and never dreamed such a career was possible. I have gone from working for Enterprise Businesses to owning my own business. I have a background in programming, networking, system administration, network administration, telecommunications,and security. 359 Solutions specializes in providing services to the banking, insurance, automotive, manufacturing, oil & gas, and other industries.

I enjoy riding dirt bikes and racing cross country with my daughter. I'm restoring a 1969 Pontiac Firebird and a 1989 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z. I also have a 1969 Ford Mustang Fastback in line for the next restoration.

Cooking and Gardening are my ways of relaxing. I like knowing whats in the food I eat so I raise a lot of my own vegetables and can them.

I have 3 blue heelers and 1 red heeler and they go most every where with me.

As far as my professional life goes, I'm a real computer nerd. I spend many evenings studying to keep on top of my field. I'm very interested in technology and continuing my education.
