I was brought to the industry despite my best attempts to avoid it. I was a film school drop out who hit the road with a concert production company who ended up in Aspen, Colorado running security for major events like Winter X Games. During that time software development was a hobby. Companies I worked for and colleagues I worked with required solutions to business problems that the wonder of new technology could always solve. After more than a decade my hobby became a career and then a business.
The move to Minneapolis was a great catalyst for this and I am grateful for the opportunities it continues to provide. Recently I chose to become an organizer of the JavaScript MN meetup group. This was done to absorb more opportunities that can present themselves, but has instead turned into a fun and fulfilling way to give back. I have found that participating in these communities and meetups is a full circle means by which those who get involved can benefit and give back both at the same time.
