Jon's Story
Most people know that I played trombone starting in 4th grade, and I played through high school. I also joined a jazz band made up of students at DeVry in Phoenix.
I returned to Colorado Springs, and did whatever I needed to make ends meet as long as I didn't have to move back in with my parents.
Eventually I got a clerical job at TRW which lead directly to my career path of Configuration Management. Not a career too many strive for, but it seemed to fit me well.
I ran into an old school friend (Irene Pedley also class of '82) a few years later at a club here in town. We started...Expand for more
dating (on and off), and in late 1988 we married. We had 2 incredible boys together (1992 and 1997), but we eventually split up in late 2001. We are still friends.
My career moved from Hardware Configuration Management to Software Configuration Management back in 1996. I have done very well in the field and am now managing a group that works on projects across the country. I work in Denver, and make that horrendous commute just about every day.
I have never been good about staying in touch with old friends. I feel bad about that. I am glad that some are good about contacting me.
