I left tech burned out in 2005. Database admin in healthcare both provider side and insurance, among other things. I decided to start my own thing writing about personal development and the such. Became a home schooling stay at home dad then a divorced home schooling stay at home dad. Along the way I got a fantastic education in direct response marketing and entrepreneurship. Now, I'm getting back into tech. These days I balance the following: sleep(!!!), teaching and learning Argentine Tango, yoga, kids, eating well, time with friends, marketing and biz dev for consulting, problem solving with computers, and writing about spiritual experiences. I can only do any one of them with enthusiasm because I do all of them. Happiness has turned out to be what I bring to the table not what is given to me by an activity or outside experience. Took me over 40 years to figure this one out. We'll see how it plays out over the next 40 years.
