Full Biography

I have the desire to become a Software Engineer.  I spent 12 years working in Nuclear Power and I was good at it, but I didn't find my passion until I got out of the Navy and changed my job field to IT.  I started as Tech Support, and I am still Tech Support for all of my family and friends.  My future will be as a software developer.  I get asked from time to time what I've done on my own for building software, and the answer is this: Not much.  It's not that I don't care, or that I'm lazy.  I have a full time job, and I am a full time student, and I have a family at home.  I'm sure once I'm not in school any more I will start building solutions with my free time, but for right now, I don't have the ability to squeeze anything more into my schedule right now.  This doesn't mean that it isn't my passion either.  I love building solutions at work and seeing them implemented.  That is how I know I want to be a software engineer.
