Grew up with an idyllic life in Santa Cruz, CA. Didn't know how good I had it. After serving in the US Army and attending college, I've worked in the voice/collaboration and data networking industry for almost twenty years. I've spent my career meeting some amazing people. I like meeting people who are smarter than me (and I seem to do that a lot). Those people make me better! Now I live in Tennessee with with my four children, two of whom are adults and in college themselves. I enjoy hiking, good books, and going to church.
