Michael's Story
Life
I am married with two children (as you can see in the picture). My wife is truly my better half. My daughter is graduating Rutgers (2011), as is my son in a few years. All are happy, fun-loving, open, engaging, intelligent individuals, as I believe I can say of myself. LiG - Life is Good. Look for me on FaceBook...
School
I went to three high schools. Brooklyn Tech, John Jay, and James Madison. It took me five years, but I finished HS. Most of my friends were dropouts. I partied way too much, but hung in there.
Mr. Kapp at James Madison, the head of the physical sciences department, was my favorite teacher.
College
I also went to three colleges - NY Polytechnic, NYU, and Thomas Edison. It...Expand for more
took me 25 years, but I received my BA in Psychology in 2003 from Thomas Edison. I switched majors from computer science, as there was nothing left to learn at the undergrad level. I just (2011) received my MS in Information Systems Engineering from NYU-Poly - fitting NYU & Poly merged so I could get a degree from both... One day I'll get a PhD in Philosophy/Psychology, possibly from Pacifica, and teach?
Workplace
After HS, I worked for various companies in Information Technology (IT). I then worked for numerous start-ups. I ran my own IT consulting company for six years. I joined IBM in 2000, which almost lasted a decade. I now work for Hitachi Data Systems as a Senior Strategist.
