Terry's Story
Life
1969 - started school; 1994 - finished school (gee that was a long time wasn't it. Every time I was faced with a decision between actually working and going to school, school seemed to be more attractive). In 1994 I started a business (didn't have a clue what I was doing. This is true of many people in business). Then in 1996 I sold that business, and ended up working for the people who bought it (Open Text).
From 1996 to 2000 I actually worked for a living. Its OK, but I think I prefer not working, or at least doing something that leaves me asking the question: Do they really pay me for this? So, in 2001, I was part ...Expand for more
of a group that founded another business, which was a lot of fun. But sadly, it died in July 2005.
After that I tried my hand at consulting for a bit, but it didn't work out, so in 2006 I went back to working for a living at a place called GPS Industries.
Now, here it is 2007 and I'm off to a company called Vitrium. Another small startup with great hopes.
College
Although I had been messing around with computers for a while, I took math/physics at university initially, because I wanted to know how the universe worked. Turns out, the universe is way too complicated and it made my head hurt, so I did computers instead.
