Craig's Story
College
I spent my first year at the University of Miami in FL, hoping to improve my tennis game to a professional level. I majored in Architecture but changed to Economics because my freehand drawing ability was limited. I studied too much and didn't play tennis, so I received academic honors but didn't improve my tennis game. I transferred to University of Maryland after my first year because of finances (divorced parents). I studied, won an intramural tennis tournament, and graduated with honors. Would do it differently if I could do it again -- less focus on studies and enjoy the overall experience, extracurricular act...Expand for more
ivities, and so forth. I would also have majored in a hard science or engineering.
Workplace
I currently license intellectual property for IBM as a Negotiation Executive, having spent my entire career as a professional negotiator. I spent some time in management but prefer the front line action as a negotiator over handling personnel matters. I am a liaison to our Asia-Pacific team and have traveled to Singapore, Japan, and China (Shanghai and Beijing). China was a pleasant surprise and I recommend it as a visit to anyone. The Great Wall was truly magnificient, the food was delicious, and the people were very friendly.
