Well, I had a chance to do the easy, but low paying, resume padding job with NASA working on weather satellites and other types of applications...instead I came out wanting to swing large in the world of dot coms during the late 20th century and found that the excitement, fluidity and overall craziness of working for a company was the way to go for me.

Maybe one day I'll be able hit the University circuit. We'll see how this chapter in my life ends first though....

The Highs and the Lows. I've been through a fair amount in my 29 brief years on this planet. I've made and burnt through 2 sizable fortunes. I hope to be on my upswing right now, but you never know how it roles. I've lost a lot of people but I've gained an incredible group of friends and mentors. I just want to be thankful in all that I've been given and always try to be happy when the proverbial crap hits the old fan....

I'll have to say when I got to run up and down the coast of California visiting universities and educating their staff on the new up and coming NACElink system that I helped develop. I got to meet a ton of cool people, make new friends, and see the old lady.

I do not drink the coffee. I had a massive bout of the Kidney Stones and have put off caffeine and other dehydrating drinks to spare myself from a redux of that experience.
