All,

My first job was Static Discharge Tester at a sweater factory. The pay wasn't good, but I got a charge out of it. Man, was I glad when they upgraded from wool to raylon.

All kidding aside, the Busboy to Software Developer fits me to a tee; as if it was custom made for my situation. Thanks Beverly!

Best of luck in all your SAS endeavors!

First Job: Selling fireworks.

After University: UNIX systems programmer doing bug fixes of the AIX kernel for IBM.

Today: Manager of near-shore web application development team and Excel VBA consultant.

Learn Next: Just finished Udacity Machine Learning Engineer Nanodegree and I'm looking for volunteer opportunities as a SAS statistical programmer. Never did as much statistics work as I wanted early in my career. Hoping to make a change (switch) but it is tough to get the resume bullets I need to launch.
