Hi, thanks for checking out my story. My journey to get to where I am today has been a long time in the making. For 25 years, my work revolved around Information Technology; either supporting applications, building hardware, or solving business problems with a combination of both.
For most of those years, I was in operation support and in a constant state of stress. Knowing at any time, I could get a call that could ruin my day, or the next several, depending on what went wrong with the systems I supported.
It should be no surprise that it was one of these calls that changed my life.
Life.. Camera.. Action
Let me set the scene with a film analogy reminiscent of a Frank Capra movie.
It’s February 2018…very early morning. It’s clear and cold outside, a typical winter day. The camera zooms in on a house in the suburbs, two cars parked in the garage. We cut to the interior, the camera pans through the dark rooms, passing one child’s door, then another.
We then see the parent’s room. The bedroom occupants are fast asleep, snuggled in a warm bed, a dog is sleeping between a husband and wife, all are pleasantly dreaming.
