Tony's Story
Well, where to start: A long, long time ago, in a land far, far away, was a meddlesome teenager filled with far too much energy and not enough sense. This poor bugger went to school, graduated high school (could have ¿applied himself¿ more)., enlisted in the Army, damaged himself a bit when training too excessively during AIT, took the honorable discharge, went to college immediately after at the University of Minnesota ¿ Morris, got degrees in Philosophy and Computer Science, went to graduate school at Washington State University, got a master¿s in Computer Science, (they tried to convince this fool to fully matriculate, but the burden of a future Nobel prize was too much to bear), then entered the work force. Lived in Boulder, CO for a few years, then up to Laramie, WY for several years. Skied, climbed, fished, hiked and traveled all over the western U.S. Got to see some amazing places and met some wonderful and incredible people along the way.
Hobbies all over the map: se...Expand for more
mi-professional drag racing (read as - won less money than spent), fly fishing, fly airplanes, but not enough photography lately, boating, fishing, scuba diving, mushroom hunting, precision marksmanship, semi-gourmet cooking (read as ¿ not good enough to make a living at it), occasional miscreant, etc.
Fast forward a few years. Have three lovely and rambunctious children, a smart and beautiful wife, and not enough time to take a breather. Have houses in Minnesota, Washington state and northern Virginia. I feel like I should be running for political office ¿ but the sh!t shoveler¿s guild kicked me out years ago.
Professionally: Pretty much been-then-and-done-that across the board. Been an entrepreneur, consultant, corporate lackey, government research scientist, teacher, and all around janitor (i.e. cleaning up after other people¿s messes). How¿s that for not saying anything?
Would love to hear from any old friends and catch up. Can always be reached by email, just search me.
