As of February 2018, after 40+ years working in Silicon Valley, the last 19 of which was spent in IT Business Systems Analyst roles, I am officially retired from my career in High Tech.I am now focusing my efforts on music, working as a part-time musician in several groups. Performing for a live crowd has always been my greatest passion, and remained something that I did whenever possible during my high tech career. Now that I'm retired, I can focus much more time and energy on honing my skills, and seeking out opportunities to perform.(2020 Update: The emergence of COVID-19 of course means that live performances are on hold for now, but once the pandemic has passed I look forward to playing in front of live crowds once again.)I'm also spending a fair amount of time enjoying my other favorite hobby, Amateur Radio (call sign N6OI). "Ham radio" (as it's also called) is a great hobby because it gives me the opportunity to chat with people all over the world on an almost daily basis.(Post-pandemic I hope to get back to my other hobbies as well, especially travel.)To the many people I worked with over the years, I miss seeing you, but it's great to be able to follow your careers here on LinkedIn. Best of luck to you all.
