So how I got to where I am today...
Went to college at A&M Galveston where I met one of my best friends. He was one of my suitemates in the dorm. After deciding I didn't want to continue going to school for Marine Science, I worked a few odd jobs back at home in Houston for a while and my friend moved back to Dallas. He called me one day and told me to come up for a job interview with Earthlink. It took about 3 months but I ended up moving up to Dallas and getting a job at Earthlink. Did that for 3 years working customer service, tech support, then QA until they closed the call center. Worked at SBC in customer service after that for a couple years until I left to work for the Verizon NOC as a contracted employee. Worked in the NOC for a year before I got laid off there. Pretty much went unemployed for the next 4 months before my friend in Dallas got me a job in Tyler working for another friend of ours we met at Earthlink. Worked there learning MySQL, a little PHP, and java. Got to know my new boss pretty well then he decided to leave the company to start his own company. I finished up some projects for the company I was working for then went to go work for him, becoming part owner.
