Greetings and salutations. Welcome to my blog, which will most likely die a quick and silent death. I’ve never been much for writing. I rarely even post anything of significance on my own Facebook wall. And yet, here I am. I’ve just felt the urge to put thoughts down to “page” quite a lot lately, and decided to give it a go. We will just have to wait and see if I have any “stick-to-it-ness” for blogging.
I guess I should start with a little about myself. I am a widowed father of two boys, ages 15 and 11. I lost my wife of nearly 17 years in a car accident early last year. I’m pretty sure that, in amongst the various and sundry posts about business articles that catch my eye, I will throw in a few personal posts here and there about the life of a widower.
I have been in the IT profession for close to 20 years now. I’ve hopped from industry to industry, and I currently find myself working for an oil and gas exploration company. I also do jobs on the side (web sites, custom programming, etc), and I am trying to get a Christian themed clothing brand off the ground. I have a degree in mathematics, and I am currently pursuing an MBA.
Incidentally, I have a pretty dry and sarcastic sense of humor, and it will rear its ugly head from time to time. If something I say rubs you the wrong way, my apologies in advance. No harm is intended.
And with that, I will wind up this first…and possibly last…post. (Full of optimism, aren’t I?) Until next time…
Brian
