That’s okay, I probably googled you too.  So you’ve found my blog, and contained herein is my life for the last several years.  Dig away; here’s the brief bio.

First of all, I am not The Bobs.  Secondly, I’ve just been through an acquisition myself so I know how awkward and stressful all of these changes can be and hope I can be a kindred spirit for everyone else who is going through these sort of changes as well.

Now that I’ve told you what I am not, now let me tell you a bit more about who I am…

I am a dad, Jaimee just turned two on the weekend and Katlyn will be turning four in May.  First and foremost, my life revolves around them.

I am a husband, and my wife Jodie is a real estate agent in Milton, Ontario.  Milton was officially named the fastest growing city in Canada, and Jodie happens to be really good at her job.  It’s an incredibly good time to be starting a real estate career in the Greater Toronto Area.

I am a camper, we take the family out camping as often as we can in the summer and enjoy getting outdoors.  We have a little Jayco popup trailer that follows us around and is developing a nice, healthy ”campfire” smell.

I am a geek, and my passion revolves primarily around the digital home.  I am a Microsoft MVP with a speciality in Windows Media Center, and am just starting to delve into the new Microsoft Home Server product with that product team.  Last week I attended the MVP summit in Redmond, which is the annual opportunity to geek out with the MCE product team and the other MVPs.

I am a technology worker, I started at Open Text in April of 2001 and have held multiple positions primarily in services management and working with large customers.  Last year, I gained some “industry experience” as a Strategic Account Manager at Stellent where I met some fantastic people, but eventually returned home to Open Text after Stellent was purchased by Oracle.  So much has changed over the last year, I look forward to meeting all of the new people that are now part of the Open Text family and digging in to the business at hand.
