I started out as a software engineer with a B.S. in computer science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, working on projects in the civilian sector and even a few for NASA and DARPA. However, I eventually realized that my personality was not suited to sitting in a cubicle all day. I moved into product marketing and stayed there until my company was put up for sale by a CEO looking for a big payday. I attempted to create an adoption business, Southern Russia Adoptions, but I could not make that work. Now my largest source of income comes from my IT consulting business, PC Cobbler. I'd love to find a job which employed all of my talents, perhaps as a lab manager.
The initial intent of this website was to provide potential employers a view of my skills which cannot be obtained via a resume, with my writing style possibly characterized as Tom Swift meets Hunter Thompson. I realize full well that Pandora, Helene, and Phoebe joyride in space employs language rarely used in corporate communications. My blog posts have turned rather political, with my views being progressive in the Teddy Roosevelt sense. My PC Cobbler website also has a blog, though the posts and the FAQ are rather esoteric.
