It was September of 1985 that I took my first job in high technology on the assembly line for a computer workstation manufacturer by the name of Apollo Computer. Within a year, I was a system admin in the operating systems lab, within two, I was a software engineer working with the team responsible for porting Sun's ONC platform to Domain/OS.
Apollo was my first real full time work experience, and even though I was badge number 4103, it still had the atmosphere of a startup and I loved being a part of a company that was years ahead of its time.
After subsequently working for at least a dozen startups, consulting for dozens of companies and having founded and sold one company of my own, Apollo stood for many years as one of the high water marks of my career in high tech. That is of course, until Eldarion came along.
The excitement of seeing the vision that James laid out for Eldarion being realized has been truly amazing. The team is perhaps the most talented I've ever seen or worked with, the opportunities that lay before us incredible, and the chances of it continuing to eclipse any of my work experiences of the past 29 years, excellent.
