The idea of working as an information technology project manager would have been foreign to me a decade ago as I walked across the stage at the University of Cincinnati. Back then I had just passed my Fundamentals of Engineering exam and had grand aspirations of a life-time of chemical engineering. Since that time I've helped develop processes to make that pudding that is in a bunch of folks' lunch sacks; that shampoo and conditioner lots use each day, and more environmentally friendly refrigerators that are in a couple of houses.  But during that time I slowly moved from the technical details to the project management arena, complete with the PMP (Project Management Professional) credential. The last few years have been focused on everything from environmental compliance to RFId implementation.  These days I have begun to focus in on the IT world.  When I am not working, the family and I enjoy geocaching, birdwatching, and making short trips to various National Parks.
