I was born as raised in the Bronx. Attended public school after third grade. My family was told that I was not smart enough to attend the Catholic school everyone else in my family attended. This sounds like bad news for me, but it was a blessing to me. In fourth grade, I met my future wife. We helped each other through middle school, high school and college. I could not have done the things I have without her support. I have worked my way up the corporate ladder as I used my AAS degree to get as job as an electronics technician on a production floor. Then used my BS to get a job as a software engineer, used training to start my networking career, and finally used the MS to move into IT management. Go figure, I now work at and teach in a Catholic College. I wish I could back to the people that removed me from Blessed Sacrament in the Bronx to let them know where I ended up.
