About Me

My photo
Bob Evans
In all of my years, I have traveled many roads. I moved a lot in childhood. I entered my first marriage at a very young age and joined the US Air Force at 18. I spent the next 11 years doing the following:
* Avionics
* Fathered 2 children
* Earned Bachelors Degree (Summa Cum Laude)
* Earned Masters Degree (Summa Cum Laude)
* Divorced
* Remarried

Then, off to Virginia Tech to start work on Ph.D. I didn't finish my dissertation, but I did do an internship with IBM. I got caught programming. And, walla walla, career change. The next few years brought:
* Divorce
* Entry to computer science career
* Marriage (finally to right person)
* Another child

Now, I work as a software architect. My work keeps me heavily engaged in all layers of software development from the web to the host.

Oh, I run a lot.
