I got my start in the technology field while I was working at an electronics wholesale company. At the time, I was an order entry clerk and exceled at it enough that the CEO of the company was trying to find something else for me transition into. I remember vividly on a hot summer day, he came out of his office and asked this very profound question…”you’ve taken computer classes right?” I think I stuttered and ultimately said “y-y-yes”. His response, “then good you are our IT department!” I knew at that moment that I needed to quickly get myself educated on ALL THINGS IT! As time passed and having several technical jobs under my belt, I continued to seek out something I could be absolutely passionate about. Ultimately I was introduced to the world of databases and knew I was onto something. As my knowledge grew the world of Business Intelligence was emerging. I had found my passion. My boss at the time stated, “you should get into BI!” I took his advice. I have worked in the wonderful world of business intelligence for about 10 years investigating, exploring, and researching various facets of data warehousing, big data, data analytics, and solutions architecture.
