About Erik
I'm a high-tech computer systems architect; that's a mouthful that really means I help companies put together hardware systems, operating systems, and software applications into an integrated whole to solve large problems.
I've a substantial number of old friends both still in the services, and recently finished (I'm old enough that many of my High School friends are at their 20-year level now), and have always maintained a good relationship and interest in servicemembers.
I'm more gregarious than most tech people, and as such, I maintain a large professional circle, both in the private and academic communities. Primarily in the Boston and San Francisco Bay area, but also in Los Angeles and Atlanta.
I currently run my own consulting firm; I'd be happy to provide any information about starting a small business, or how the civilian high-tech environment actually works.
