Started out after college working on the railroad and professional trumpet player. Railroad got too boring so I took a buyout and after a period became a corporate controller. Controlling got boring so I went into business selling long-life lighting and created NBS a specialty lighting distributor. Took part in series of personal development trainings, took over a much larger business and made a mistake and lost it all. BTW I was marrier for 12 years in there somewhere. Started working at Cabletron now Enterasys and was layed off and then got started in the telecommunications business which has never stopped being interesting and challenging.
