Doug's Story

During the last two years of HS and first year of college, I worked at a violin establishment learning how to make/repair violins and cellos.

I was hired by Intel and became a software QA/dev person for a group that worked on Internet communication and media streaming. During the fall of 1998, I was also performing as a network consultant for companies who wanted to establish computer networks (servers, desktops,email/firewalls, etc). It was through this side job that I met my wife. We got married in Feb of 2001.
I spent 26y working at Intel working at all different areas of the company, but was let go mid-2025. Currently looking for other work, but enjoying the fact that my life is less stressed.
