Follow your passion, and success will follow you. – Arthur BuddholdThe above quote summarizes what life has taught me. To succeed, one must have passion behind their work; to enjoy your work is not enough. The success in my career has been found alongside my passions and I intend to practice this understanding as an entrepreneur.I moved to Paso Robles, CA a few years ago having left my software engineering job to develop a business in the wine world. I have been a longtime wine enthusiast and love the Rhone styled wines of Paso Robles in particular. I am currently developing a public radio show which brings the magic of the Central Coast wine world into listeners lives. Sharing my love of wine is my focus and I believe that my passions are well expressed when talking to and educating the wine loving public.I previously lived for 5 years in Penang, Malaysia where I led an R&D team of software engineers. Our team designed a 4G mobile phone test and measurement software platform. This time taught me well the importance of clear concise communication, strong leadership and the proper setting of responsibilities and expectations.With my previous employer’s size and worldwide presence, I was afforded the opportunity to travel and interact with colleagues and customers from around the globe. I’ve lived for years in Asia (Malaysia and Korea), months in Europe and have made countless trips supporting our customers around the U.S.These opportunities have given me a global perspective and valuable cultural immersion. I understand that the world is ever shrinking and that global business success requires an open mind.I am now in a position to work for myself, driven by passion and with a literal world of opportunity available.Specialties: Wine, Rhone Wine, Paso Robles, Software Engineering, Software Architecture, .NET, C#, LINQ, WPF, MVVM, Test and Measurement, 4G, GSM, WCDMA, LTE, Agilent GS8800, Asia, Korea, Seoul, Malaysia, Penang, California Wine
