Milestones
My road in life took a while to figure out.
Had a passion for creativity.
Went away to college, to gain independence.
Majored in marketing because it allowed creative thinking.
Took a job as a commercial lines underwriter because it was a decent job with a good company.
Quit my job and moved out to California (something I was too scared to do right out of college).
Landed a job as an Application Specialist for a technology company.
Moved home after two years to do marketing for the family business.
Decided I missed the technology solutions and began working at Hobsons.
