Well, its been a few months since I’ve written here and I’ve got a lot to talk about!
My last content post talked about getting laid off from 3Dlabs from my position as a Developer Relations Engineer.  I took about a month to interview with various tech companies and accepted a position with Intel Corporation. I was relocated to Beaverton Oregon and am now living in the Pacific Northwest! This has been a dream of mine since I was about 15 years old, and I’m finally here!
I always thought I’d move to Seattle, however I decided on the Portland area due to its more reasonable cost of living and its liberal population. I’m truly impressed at the progressive thought in this town and the people here are amazing. Working at Intel is great too, I’m doing exciting work and meeting some truly incredible people in the Industry. I never thought I would take a position at a huge corporation but in the end its all about having the ability to be creative and contribute to truly innovative technology - as long as I’m working on something I’m passionate about . . . I’m happy
Since moving here I’ve been to Portland a few times, it is an awesome city. Beaverton, where I work and live, is boring and reminds me of Littleton. My plan is to move to downtown Portland once my lease is up in a few more months. Being able to go to the coast without flying is a huge bonus too. I drove to Seaside and Cannon Beach and was really impressed by the beautiful Oregon coastline. Hopefully I’ll be able to get out there more!
