As you know I left Epic in July because I was doing too much project management. I decided that sales was what I wanted to do and found a job at Metasoft selling software that converted documents into images (like PDFs for archival and TIFF for faxing). My challenge was to take a product that [...]

I am extremely proud to announce that as of August 1st, 2006 I am Metasoft’s newest Sales Manager! Finally, I get into sales!! W00t!!

End Of An Epic Era
Friday, July 14, 2006
Next Friday is a big day for me as it marks the end of my almost five year stint at Epic Data! It all began in the second week of August, 2001. Christine and I had just got back from our African safari and were planning to move to the UK in six months. The [...]

Life On The Road
Monday, May 23, 2005
The complete lack of anything interesting on this blog (if indeed you can call any of the past entries interesting) is due to a combination of laziness and busyness. Lazyness, cuz I normally go, “this would be interesting…I should put it in the blog” and then I just stay sitting on the couch. Busyness, cuz [...]
Well, maybe one more toy
Sunday, December 5, 2004
This one, however, is business related. Right now when I travel I take my laptop, my cell phone and my iPod. Each of those has its own charger, which makes 3 different chargers I need to carry. The solution is find one system that can charge/power all of the devices. And recently I found the [...]
Onwards And Upwards!
Monday, November 8, 2004
I have been holding this news in for about two weeks now, and I can finally let everyone know! Today was yet another reorganization of Epic Data. After all, it wouldn’t be right to go more than 12 months without a change, right? After being in my Business Analyst role for all of 12 months, [...]
To Toronto for a burger
Wednesday, June 9, 2004
To continue the current trend of really long trips for really small gains, I went to Toronto yesterday and I came back today! Epic is bidding on the City of Toronto’s wireless parking system (search for RFP #3412-04-7201) and the bidder’s conference was today. So yesterday I flew out there. Fortunately, it wasn’t a complete [...]
12 hours, 4 Taxis, 2 flights, 1 meeting
Thursday, March 11, 2004
All in all, a busy Wednesday! Although I only went to Kamloops, I was quite tired last night. It is quite a trip for a 4 hour meeting. I think we will get the sale though, so that is a good thing! Ahhh…the joys of business travel.
Life Moves Fast
Monday, February 23, 2004
At 3pm today I discovered that I had to be in New Haven, CT for an 11AM meeting on the 25th! It was a hectic afternoon! First I had to figure out where and when I had to be. Then get our travel agent to figure out the flights, hotels and cars. Then get management [...]
