Three careers, quickly

First career: hands. Sixteen years of pipefitting, ironwork, and steel — the factories other people's software would later run.

Second career: rooms. Security engineering to Big 4 Senior Director; disaster recovery for global companies; M&A technology to the multiple Bs; CTO for a $4B data start-up; VP of SaaS & Finance at SAP.

Third career: both. Unnamed Firm builds software shaped to how SMBs actually run — the thing career one needed and career two priced out of reach.
