Career Story

Graduated high school pre-internet days. Attended WLU attaining degrees in History, Political Science and Business. My "adulting" work life started out in banking. After a number of relatively mundane and pseudo satisfying years I retired and travelled Australia for a year. My career path has been diverse and convoluted at best. Difficult to describe the path but the objective was always to work in an environment where I felt I could achieve and succeed and where I was remunerated based on what I felt was my worth. I never considered my leaving a position as "quitting" but more so making a positive change to meet the standards I created for myself, my employer, and my remuneration. Below is a list of companies and job responsibilities since graduation in 1989.
