Randy's Story

Life I got married, moved from the West coast to the East Coast (Lancaster PA), then moved to Longmont CO (near Boulder) in 1999. I have a son who's 16 and a daughter who's 21. I live in Columbia, Pennsylvania and I work for Realtech US in PA as an SAP Technical Consultant. If you want to know more, just ask! Surprise! Our little Katy was born in 2007. She is absolutely adorable! I thought we were done having kids, but I guess God had other plans for us. My family decided to move back to Amish country, so I took a job with Armstrong (Have you seen the bulldog and skateboard on the hardwood floors commercial?). I left Armstrong and now work for Realtech. My oldest daughter wast married in 2009 and is living in Colorado. I play guitar in a band for a local church. My son plays drums in a heavy metal band and also plays cello. Quite a combination, I would say! Workplace I worked for 10 years in a family business in San Jose as a maintenance supervisor and computer support, then moved to Lancaster, PA in Amish country for a full time job as an NT Administrator. After 3 years I changed jobs to learn UNIX and Oracle and moved to Colorado a year later to work full time as an Oracle DBA. After just 10 months I caught the dot com fever which ended with the demise of the dot com, but I ...Expand for more
was prepared and was recruited by SAP America to be trained as a SAP Basis consultant which lasted less than a year due to market conditions. After looking for several months for a position in Colorado, I started looking outside the area and accepted a position as an Oracle DBA/SAP Basis consultant as a contractor for the US Navy at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Virginia. I wasn't happy with the schedule or work environment in Norfolk, so I took a job with a large company based in Toledo, Ohio as a SAP Basis Administrator and Oracle DBA lead. Check your prescription containers. On the bottom you'll see O-I - that's from Owens-Illinois! Things change rapidly in the world of IT, and Owens-Illinois (now called just O-I), cancelled their SAP implementation, so I decided to keep working with that technology and I started working for Holcim (USA) in Dundee, MI, just 20 minutes north of my house in Ohio. After working for Holcim for around three years, we moved to Lancaster, PA and I now work for Armstrong World Industries in Lancaster. My job is similar, just in a different location. I feel fortunate to have stumbled upon a great occupation where I could work just about anywhere. Apple computer contacted me last year about working for them, but I really feel at home here in the East.
