There is really not much about me. I was born in Flagstaff, Arizona and grew up mainly in and around the Flagstaff area until college. Then I moved to Tucson in 1996 for my freshman year at the University of Arizona, majoring in Computer Engineering. I attended the U of A for about 2 years, then left. During this point in my life, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do in my career, but realized it wasn’t entirely going to be in computer engineering. I decided to take some community college classes and meditate on what I would love to do. I worked in several different job positions, including as a web developer for the University of Arizona Department of Hydrology, a technical support representative for a now defunct Internet service provider and a restaurant manager at Jason’s Deli. After about 10 years at Jason’s Deli, I found my career path.

I currently work as an independent contractor with a local satellite service provider, mainly focusing on sales to residential and commercial clients.  I like to also call it: “I am selling dreams!”.  So far, I do enjoy what I do and getting a ton of experience as a salesman.

I have experience in UNIX/Linux/SunOS administration, programming mainly in C/C++ and some assembly language, and currently learning some other languages like perl, ruby, Javascript, Object C and PHP. I am currently in college in pursuit of a Business Administration degree, with a minor in Computer Engineering. What can I say, I have an intense fascination for school.

    I personally like the look on the face of the guy right under my finger… he has the “You pointing at me?” look.
