Life after Hillsborough High school, I successfully started and operated a software company.

After operating my own business, I graduated from the University of Tampa with a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Information Systems. I also was on the varsity cross-country team at UT.

I relocated to Denver, CO and was employed by the Oracle Corporation as a software consultant. While living in Denver, I graduated from Colordao State University with an (MBA) Masters in Business Administration.

After graduation from CSU, I accepted a position with Siebel Systems as a Principal Software Consultant, and worked with customers within the West Coast of the U.S. and Canada.

I Married Heather Robertson while living in Denver, CO.

The Boeing Company offered me a position as an Information Technology Manager, and relocated my wife and I to Seattle, WA. At the Boeing Company, I manage a team that develops and supports IBM Cognos Business Intelligence software for the Boeing 787 Program.

I completed the Project Management Program (PMP) Certification at the University of Washington. I completed my 2nd masters degree at Washington State University in the Engineering and Technology Management Program. Currently enrolled in the Doctoral Program in Organizational Leadership at Pepperdine University.

I Rode the STP (Seattle To Portland) 204 mile bicycle ride. Also ran the New York City marathon.

This story at Hillsborough wasn't funny back then, but is funny now.

I used to park my car across from the South Campus. One day, I backed my 1972 Ford Pinto near the parking blocks, and a metal spike from one of the poles put a hole in my gas tank. Even though Ford Pinto's had recalls for engines catching on fire, my gas just leaked out, it didn't blow up! :-)

Scott McCatty, my friend at Hillsborough High, drove me to the Gulf Gas station at the corner of Central Avenue and Hillsborough Avenue. I got my gas tank replaced, and life was good!
