About Me

Picture
Bio: I was originally born in Georgia and lived there until I was 7, but then my mom and I moved to Wilmington, DE where I spent most of my childhood. I went to Brandywine High School and graduated in 1994 if there are any BHS people out there reading this. Following that, I went to Purdue University and graduated in 1998 with a bachelor's degere in Computer Science. My first job was with Cisco Systems in San Jose California but I only lived there for a year, and now my wife and I live in the Chicago suburbs. Aside from crap traffic and cold winters, life here is pretty good.

Update, Dec 2007. We are relocating to Minneapolis/St. Paul and our house is on the market currently. We will be up there full time starting Dec 3rd and I will update this page when we get settled up there with a new house and jobs, etc.

I also just completed my MBA at the University of Chicago's Graduate School of Business. I just had my last class and will receive my degree around December 15th. I've decided not to walk in the graduation ceremonies because of our relocation to Minnesota.

In other news, my wife and I welcomed our first child on February 21st, 2006. His name is Declan Sean Wilson and he is a joy, learning, growing, and smiling more every day.

Our dog Cali We love our little dog Cali. She's a fox terrier mix and is extremely smart. She loves to fetch tennis balls but hates to do her other tricks, like rolling over and playing dead.
