I worked hard and smarter than most people in the businesses I have been in.

Although I loved working on technology - I've always been a computer geek at heart - my professors encouraged me to get a real-world job working with customers.

I've always had a passion for technology, photography, startups, and connecting people. Bringing those aspects together made me successful.

I'm a lot more interested in people than I used to be. I used to be most interested in abstract ideas, and people were an afterthought, but that's changed a bit.

We go through our careers and things happen to us. Those experiences made me what I am.

Having a college degree gave me the opportunity to be... well-rounded. Also, the people I met at the university, most of them are still my colleagues now. People I've known for years are all in the industry together.

Out of grad school, I worked as a tech writer for a while before going into computer coding for a living.

I have met many people, and everyone's impression of me is based on my career.

I've been lucky to be able to work with great people and on interesting material.

I actually love technology. I worked for 18 years as systems analyst in technology.
