Life After graduating from Washington State University with a BA in Finance and Real Estate, I moved to Seattle and have been living in the Seattle area for a little over 9 years now. Man, I can't believe I've lived in one place this long!!! Of course, I couldn't completely abandon my Army brat ways and moved around within the city a bunch of times. I started with a Branding/Marketing firm in downtown Seattle called Landor. They were based out of San Francisco and had won the account to do a bunch of Microsoft packaging, so they opened an office up here. It was a really fun bunch and I had a great time until they laid my ass off in the summer of 2001. That was a pretty common occurence around here at that time, so it wasn't too bad, but it still kind of sucked! Anyway, I bounced around at a few different ad agencies and did some contract work at Microsoft the last few years and have now settled at a company in Redmond called Voxgrafica. We specialize in retail packaging and displays and I work with a bunch of old colleagues from Landor, so it's a pretty cool place to work. We're pretty much a startup, so there's a special kind of cohesiveness among us that is pretty fun. While I was bouncing from job to job, I was actually able to find a woman to put up with me. Her name is Jennifer and we were married on...Expand for more
