Biking, hiking, geocaching, reading non-technical books, learning new technologies.

I want to lead and be led. I want to learn and teach. I want to be given complex tasks and deliver simple answers. I want to be challenged to learn new technology every day. I want to be challenged to learn something about relationships every day. I want very much to know where my work contributes to the bottom line; it's very motivating to know that....

I learned the operations side of IT. I created budgets and long term plans for the entire IT department. I managed teams. I also designed and supported the infrastructure there day-to-day.
