Well I used work on underwater explosives (mines) for the USNAVY, and built them up for war time (as needed)... but I hated the BS so I got out and went to school

Pre Law / Economics (with a minor in music). Which lead me directly into ... LOL apartment painting.... That is where I met a guy going to art school for Interactive Computer Design and animation. I absorbed everything he and his friends could teach me and went for a few semesters myself. I was recruited from school (during the DotCom explosion)and became a Search Engine specialist / production monkey.

That has leaded me to my current position (after surviving the dotcom bubble burst and many other jobs) as Marketing Director for 3 medical companies. that is a VERY glorified title for a webmaster/salesguy/designer/scapegoat.
