Lenny's Story
Life
Hey - thanks for visiting. Moved from San Diego to NC with the folks in Summer of '87 after I got pneumonia with my first job in the Thrifty's ice cream store.
After graduating from Grimsley I got my Bachelor's degree from UNC Charlotte with the Teaching Fellows Scholarship. Following that I worked in various Raleigh schools for four years teaching 2nd, 4th, and 5th grades. Great experience, but needed a different challenge. So, I made my way back to the West Coast and thanks to my bro I was able to get a foot in the door at Microsoft in Seattle. I worked my way up from testing Encarta Encyclopedia to operations training manager for MSN and finally a product manager for MSN Europe, based in London, UK.
I've now been working and living in London since Sept 2000 - it's been an incredible experience to live outside of the US on 'Europe's doorstep'. I've been fortunate enough to meet so many incredible people and have the opportunity to take great travels.
So, give a shout if you're thinking about ...Expand for more
a European adventure - hopefully I can point you in the right direction.
Cheers to all my fellow Whirlie-birds, especially the 'four horsemen'.
Update (09/04) - I'm back from London, after 3.5 years of travels, adventures, good times, and good peoples, I'm back in Seattle to continue my snowboard...I mean Microsoft career. Give me a shout if anyone ever heads up this way - it's a great start to a Whistler vacation in the winter.
Update July, 2019:
Holy WhirlieBird Smitt! It’s been 30 years since we graduated from G’boro Grimsley H.S.!!
I found love...finally!! Married to a beautiful, super smart and sweet woman named Maree. We live in Cathedral City, CA, just outside of Palm Springs in Coachella Valley. Yes, The Coachella music festival valley.
It’s close to my roots and base for her three mostly grown kids, who are awesome!
I’m managing all the events for a large country club now and couldn’t be happier with life, love, travels, family and friends.
What’s up for the 30th?? Anything happening in NC?!?
