James (Jim)'s Story
Life
Got my BS (1996) in both Computer Science / Microbiology then got my MS (1998) in Computer Science from the University of Florida.
Started with Hewlett Packard in 1994 while in school as a wire rat (network engineer) and started in 1996 as Eastern Sales Manager. I was promoted to Director of Sales (Large Format) before persuing other opportunities. The position required extensive travel so I moved onto another company Oracle as Manager of Product / Systems Integration. Then transferred into another department as Director of IT Operations.

I got married to wonderful woman named Sue. She also works at Oracle Corporation. She manages a team within Oracle WebCenter Development.
We have lived out in the Silicon Valley since October of 2000 and have enjoyed the change in scenery. We had a goal of getting tons of stock options and we are finally at a point where it is actually worth something - you can thank the dot.com bust.
Planning on buying some property in the Windermere(Orlando) area in November and will spend the next year designing our dream house. Plan on breaking ground in 2007. Also planning on opening a consulting firm when moving back to O'Town
For those who are wondering, no kids. Sue and I have been so focused on our careers but we know we will start a family when we move back to the Sunshine State.
