BioMy name is Sean and I live in the thriving metropolis of Actons Corners with my wonderful wife Rachel.
About me...
I was born in Toronto, but had the good sense to leave when I was two. I moved to Eastern Ontario (my parents thought it wise to follow). Since then I have lived in 21 different places, having moved 23 times and having attended 8 public schools, 3 high schools, and 2 universities.
I have lived in (not in any particular order): Prescott, Cornwall, Alexandria, Brockville, Lancaster, Morrisburg, Ottawa and the aforementioned Actons Corners and Toronto.
Both of my parents started out as art teachers. My father retired after doing it for over 30 years. My mother changed careers early and is now the general manager of a group of headhunters (corporate recruiters--not the other kind).
Somehow I wound up getting into computing technology. How this happened, I don't know...it wasn't genetic.
I did a brief stint in the army as a reservist and went to the University of Ottawa where I took Classical Studies (Greek and Latin stuff). I enjoyed it, but quit short of getting a degree.
I have been working in the wonderful world of SGML and XML since 1993 as a developer/analyst and information architect. I spent nearly a decade with BNR/Northern Telecom/Nortel, a couple of years with Computer Sciences Corporation and a few more with XIA Systems. I am now doing independent IT contact work coupled with blacksmithing.
