Temp hire

Bet on a six-month temp job in Florida and got hired

I watched every dollar and worked Christmas as a GameStop cashier until my review put me up for permanent hire.

Talk to me about
Early life

Taught myself a Texas Instruments computer from Dad's book

No Commodore 64 for us. When my buddy across the road was off at baseball, I made the computer do things.

Talk to me about
Bachelor's degree student at ITT Tech

Finished my bachelor's on loans while managing a GameStop

After graduating I worked a 3-month project gig an hour away on top of the store job: my first real field work.

Talk to me about
Manager at Books-a-Million

Turned down a return offer to go back for my degree

I worked evenings so my parents could watch the kids. When they asked me back, I was already headed to college.

Talk to me about
Software Design student at College

Earned a CS associate's while we lived with my parents

After a foreclosure, my wife and I both went back to school and worked at a convenience store.

Talk to me about
Manager at Blockbuster

Hid in the back office when a coworker went to meet my crush

I told a Blockbuster coworker about a cute regular. He went to talk to her, then paged me out to meet Teresa.
