As an IBM brat, I moved around a bit as a kid. I was born in New York, moved to Pompano Beach, FL, when I was three, then at 10, I moved to Rochester, MN. I went to college for a year in Wisconsin, and then transferred to the University of Texas in Austin where my family had moved. My first job out of college was as a TV news producer at a station in Austin where I had interned. I’ve been fortunate to have held some exciting positions, including working for Texas Governor Ann Richards. I’ve been through mergers and acquisitions, lay-offs and bankruptcies—none were particularly fun, but all were great learning experiences.
