Started using CAD on a PC in 1987 while working for CAD Pros. I then learned IGDS on an Intergraph VAX while working at PDRI and couple of years later I became a part owner of a consulting firm and reseller (CorDax) where I served as the Director of Project Services for 12 years. I sold my shares and accepted a position at RBF Consulting where I managed GIS projects and started a technical training center. Two years later I accepted a position at Bentley Systems as a Senior Geospatial Application Engineer. After four years of traveling I decided (translataion, my wife suggested :o) to take a local job at the Port of Long Beach as the CAD Systems Manager.
