Chris's Story

Life Currently living in Jacksonvill, FL with my wife Meg, son Riley, daughter Adrian and our dog Bentley. We have been here since 12/06. After graduation I attended Indian River Community College then finished out at Northeast Lousisiana University on swimming scholarships. I recieved a BA in psychology. I currently work for MCI as an Sr. Technical Manager. Psychology major to Engineering Hmm? :). I have a family website by last name. Looking forward to seeing old friends at the next reunion. CHRIS... School Stephen Foster Elementary 73-78 Westwood Middle School 79-81 Glenridge Jr. High School 82 Winter Park High School 83-86 College Indian River Comunity College 86-88, AA Degree Northeast Lousiana University 88-91, BA Psychology Workplace I have been very fortunate in that most jobs I have had I really enjoyed. The ones I did not enjoy, well I wasn't there long enough to remember them any way. Being in the right place / right time also helped. After finishing college I looked and applied to jobs in my field of psychology. So I like any eager, highly qualified college grad I waited tables in the interim to keep from starving. :) I started my career path working as a loan officer for a mortgage company in Orlando, FL. I enjoyed that and started using computers for marketing campaigns and automation of leads, contacts, and quotes. I did this so much I helped many of my peers. This was my first business introduction in to networking and computers. I always liked working with computers in the Mac Lab at Winter Park H.S. . Now I had a financial incentive to be profici...Expand for more
ent. Word got around in my company about things I was doing in the Orlando office. I was asked to evaluate a new Loan Officer point of sale system. I did a lot of work and Q&A to ensure it was functional for my peers. After the product was launched I was offered a Job in Altanta, GA running the Southeast region POS systems and data base for originating loans. So lucky me I was the one man help desk for ~250 loan officers. I admit it was a lot of fun, I got to travel a lot. I also got married right before moving up to Atlanta, GA. After about 3.5 years of being on call and traveling I needed a change and advancement in my career. The online company we were using for the POS system was CompuServe. I had been working with them to troubleshoot netowrk problems as they accurred. One of there engineers recommended I apply for the NSE roles. NSE - Network systems Engineer position, which is technical sales postion. Taking this carreer was the steepest of all my learning curves. After about 6months I was acclimated and advancing internally. I soon became team lead, the area manager of FL/GA/AL. Then we were acquired by Worldcom and they merged with MCI. Well if you have read the papers/Internet you know the story there. I have to say it has been an interesting 10 years at MCI, but I am fortunate to be here. I am currently a Sr. Technical Manager for 2nd level technical support team in the US. It will be interesting to find out how life will evolve once Verizon acquires us. I will have to update this later. Looking forward to seeing old friends. Best Regards, CHRIS LAYFIELD
