I was born in Falls Church, Virginia in 1969. We moved around a lot, but we finally settled in Houston when I was 12. I went away to the Air Force when I was 19 and married the most amazing woman ever created. I don’t know why she said yes but I am so glad she did. We lived in Germany and Turkey for almost 5 years while I was in. I ran a mainframe and eventually started in the client server side managing a Novell network at Offutt Airforce base. I got out in 1995, moved back to Texas and went to work for a startup software company.
