About Me

How I Got To Be Who I Am Today

Okay, okay, enough with the snide comments! But seriously, folks, I do humbly posit that who I am came by-and-large from a balance of schooling and the School of Hard Knocks. I was almost ready to say that schooling shaped most of my life until I realized that I'd been free of the Ivory Tower for over ten years. Where does the time fly? People sing songs about this, to be sure, so I guess I'll leave that to them.

If I were to summarize my whole life by schooling and career, it would fit neatly into two places: the matrix shown below, and my resume. Click the links (where available) to follow in my footsteps through those hallowed halls. :-)
