I’ve been in the internet business for about eight years now, ten if you count my first “paying” job. For the most part I had been a freelancer but I’ve also worked for an early ISP, dot.com, ad agency, start-up, in-house, and now I am with an interactive agency. It’s interesting how a high school hobby of logging into a friend’s bulletin board system though a Zoltrix 14.4bps internal modem can turn into a happy career.

I thought about moving to a different industry after completing my post graduate studies. The thought of working in an internet related industry actually didn’t occur to me at all, especially after the bubble burst. With all the academic knowledge gained I really thought I was in a good position to move into something else, but looking back all of that really just lead me back to my true interest. Then all of a sudden I realize, finding interest in your work, being excited about it, being passionate about the industry, wanting to do “good” work and being given the chance to do so is indeed something special and shouldn’t be taken for granted.
