Tom's Story
Life
04/02/06 - Ok, I left this blank many years ago for a reason. I was waiting until I settled down in one place for a while . . . and I guess that just isn't going to happen!
So here is the life of Tom since high school... Joined the Navy right away (I was tired of school) and they sent me to school for a year (duh!) in CT for submarine electronics. Was then sent to Hawaii (not totally against my will . . . it's HAWAII!!) for the next 8 years. Got married. Had our first daughter. Got out of the Navy in 1998 and moved to TEXAS.
I spent two years doing some electronic engineering work for an oilfield company, then spent the next year as a field engineer. Our second daughter was born. I was recruited away from the field by another company to manage their operations for the US and Gulf of Mexico (still oilfield). You know the saying if it's too good t be true..? Well, after 9/11 the oilfield went through some hard times and I got laid off, and found my TRUE calling - SALES!!!!
I spent two years selling chemicals for a company in Houston, then becam...Expand for more
e the manager of the salespeople (will I ever learn?) Started going to school full-time to finish my degree. Got divorced. Went into business for myself for a little while, finished my degree in April, 2005 then came to work for my current company as a manager of the salespeople again.
They moved me to CT (for a whole six months) and then decided I would serve them better if I was based in the Washington DC/Baltimore area, where I now live (and REFUSE to move from until I am dead . . . unless that magical opportunity rears it's ugly head again!!).
Update: 6/28/2008 Ok, I lied. I had to move back to Houston. Missed it. Great people down here, and golfing all year 'round. Still in sales. Life is good.
