Work and Other Fun Stuff

This is a picture of my current office. After traveling all over the country to work on different projects, I decided to settle down and start my own office. Currently, my company has three people and we are hiring one more.

We provide remote and on-site monitoring and administration and we have a couple of products. Our target market is medium to large organizations in the Bay Area; though we have one customer in Phoenix. In particular, we provide solutions for Oracle, MS SQL Server and various financial systems including Oracle 11i and SAP.

  ADC Telecommunication: Minneapolis, Minnesota - Brrrr, but it was a great job - SAP euro currency conversion - I didn't have enough spare time to be cold anyway. Really, if it weren't so cold, I would love to live there. The people are great and it's the best kept city I've ever seen
Oral-B/Gillette: When I arrived in the San Francisco Bay Area, I worked on a three month assignment merging Oral-B Laboratories into Gillette's SAP financial system. Like most projects, this one didn't finish on time, so I ended up working there for 1.5 years.

I learned a lot from 3 Com, especially while riding the peak of the internet wave - they were a highflying internet infrastructure company that's taken quite a beating.

Living in New York City was a great experience. I lived in the Upper East Side and commuted to the Global Investor's headquarters of Chase Manhattan Bank. in the Wall Street area. This was a great project. I converted a financial system to euro and multiple currencies that transacted tens of billions of dollars in securities each day. Here a became interested in Broadway shows. In fact, at lunch several times each month I would walk to the World Trade Center to get 1/2 price tickets. 
This is Hardy Wolff, one of my bosses at Motorola Semiconductor Products Sector. After finishing graduate school, I worked here as a consultant on a marketing information system.

It was a great job. Of all companies I've worked for, Motorola and Intel are the best two. I still keep in touch with friends from these two companies.

Really, I've worked since I was a small child either collecting cans to get the cash for recycling, or mowing lawns. One of the best jobs I ever had was delivering newspapers. I would be at the curb every morning no later than 5:00 a.m. At ten years old, it was very liberating to have a job with my own money.
