I was tagged by Brian with the 5 Things meme. I should be honored since this is the first time it's happened.
So here are five things you might not know about me.
I'm a business / productivity book junkie. It doesn't matter how into fiction I get, there is always the lure of the Business section at any bookstore. I just finished The Paradox of Choice and I'll be moving to Wikinomics. Here's my current book queue.
Before writing code for a living, I worked at the following companies: Sav-On Drugs, Cole-Haan, The Gap, Nordstrom's and Starbucks. So I would say I know a thing or two about good brands.
My dad is a Baptist minister and I lived in the fishbowl that is a preacher's kid's life. Definitely not easy to do especially when your beliefs no longer follow your parents.
Between May and October and of last year(2006), I lost 50 pounds. Since then, I've maintained and haven't gained any of it back. I'm pretty proud of both parts of that. It wasn't easy and it still isn't but going to the gym 6 days a week and drinking a ton of water helps so much.
Though you could probably tell I like sports, I'm not sure if I've ever said I lettered in football, baseball, basketball and golf in high school. I played golf at the jr. college I attended and then basketball at Moody.
And with that, I will now tag Gregg, Dave and Josh.
