| Introduction | Originally from Alabama, I moved to North Carolina in 1998 to work for Cisco Systems. Following that, I moved up the coast to Portsmouth, NH and took a job with NaviSite in Andover, MA. While working for NaviSite I married my lifelong love and soulmate, Rhonda (Fulton) Stricklen on July 21, 2001. Rode the tech bubble out with NaviSite (made it through numerous lay-off rounds) until finally my number was pulled, and I found myself laid off. It was during this period when I began teaching snowboarding at Killington, VT. I achieved my first AASI certification in 2004. I found another job in the tech industry with Adjoin Solutions in the waning months of 2002. Adjoin was acquired by Computer Associates in July 2003. I'm currently working on Governance, Compliance and Risk Management products for CA. My most recent passion is sailing - for where I live right now, I don't think one can find a better sport! |

For your birthday, your aunt gave you a maple syrup dispenser shaped like a rooster. Please write her a thank-you note:
Even though it's really not my kind of thing, thanks for the sweet cock you gave me to celebrate my birthday!
