What's Up With The Alien Dave?

My Other Accounts

I would like to share the part of my journey where the Alien came into my life. I will do this over four posts.

Well it's about time you put your picture up on the site Davo! Now you know we gotta ask about that Alien on your shirt...

Yes I do. It all began about ten years ago when three guys were sitting in a cave around a campfire overlooking Groom lake...

Actually it started twenty-five years ago when I began my career in the HVAC industry. (Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning). I began as a truck driver. After working for one month I developed an insatiable desire to learn more about the business. I was given the keys to the office and would come into work an hour or two early everyday to read as much material as I could get my hands on. I studied the technical side of the business for the first four years. I then transitioned to the business side. Following one year as a driver I got into service operations and have had the position of manager attached to my title until January of 2009, when I resigned.

The year was 1993 and fulfillment slowly began to slip away from the day job. So I started joining industry associations and turbo-charged my effort to learn. In 1994 I became aware of the Internet. Rosemary began to research computers in 1995. She obtained a year long subscription to Computer Shopper and read every issue from cover to back. That was when the magazine was nearly two inches thick. We bought our first computer in 1996 and hitched up our wagon to the Internet.

That was the year that Dave became a closet extrovert.
