Sold auto parts for a few years, worked at an insurance company doing web work to pay through college, and hopped around since then doing ecommerce, analytics and marketing work. Currently an engineer at a digital agency, basically a cross between a front end web engineer, a data scientist, and data architect. It's a lot of fun and I've got some pretty unique big name clients with big unique problems to solve.

Have a HS Diploma and a Bachelors. Currently a manager at a tech company and am trying to start two side businesses... While applying for MBA programs.

Was a secretary/IT guy in High School, then moved on to doing IT work while in college. Graduated, and took a low level tech job then worked my way up to where I am now.
