I worked for two different consulting firms in Canada and some brief stints elsewhere until 1997 when I moved to California to work for a software company I had enormous respect for: Borland Software. I met my future wife through Borland, worked with some incredibly talented people there, and travelled the world to speak to our customers and our partners.

What might come as more of a surprise is that toward the end of 2009 I announced my intention to transition to living as a woman.

Life is full of fascinating twists and turns and I'm enjoying finally living life in a way that feels more authentic to me. I'm eternally grateful for the support and acceptance I've gotten from my wife, friends, co-workers, and much of my family.
