Milestones

My road in life took a while to figure out.
Working while in college was a distraction but it taught me some great lessons.
A degree set me apart in my first jobs, it didn’t matter what it was in.
A master’s degree was reallly when I started to specialize in something.
I had mentors at every level.
The doctoral degree was all about realizing expertise, not about being called Doctor.
Through it all, my reputation was established by being thorough, accountable and the basics of responsibility, not in big things.
Keep following my journey

The Noise I Shed

From Society in General:

"That I should choose a technical career field rather than one in the liberal arts. But what has set me apart from those in business and technology are the skills I gained from the liberal arts. It’s what has given me a competitive edge."
