First job: "At 16, I was flipping steaks as a cook at York Steak House in Baltimore. My first professional job was at the National Security Agency as a computer systems analyst."
Most valuable career advice: "In 1981, my brother Steve told me that technology and communications were set to take off. He talked me into majoring in computer science at Valparaiso University when I wanted to do other things. His advice started me down this yellow brick road."
