The Beginning
I spent my first 20 years in Virginia, the youngest of four kids with great parents who were high school sweethearts and are still married today. Being a capitalist from a young age I went to work while going to school. I lasted fifteen years in a very traditional corporate life working for a law book publisher as well as high tech companies when computers were very big - literally. Lucky for me I left the corporate world for the freelance world just before the ugly phase of downsizing, when friends would report trying to log on to the system before taking their coats off in the morning, just in case their password didn't work and they could head home and back to bed before getting the news.
