We're not focusing on us so much, but thought you might want to know a little.
About Jason:
I'm a Phycisist and Software Engineer by training, about as geeky as they come. For most of my career, I found a fantastic home at the Eastman Kodak Company where I rose to the position of Chief Technical Officer of the Home Printing Division. Prior to the printer products, I had worked on both consumer and professional digital cameras as well as digital scanners before that. Recently, I decided to move to the MCCI Corporation to pursue other interests and family time; I'm now the Director of Standards Development at this fine company. The first person in my Standards group was Joe Decuir... who promptly quit shortly after he started to work for me. Yup, that's Joe on this trip, and no he didn't quit because of me! We're great friends, you'll hear about him below.
My personal interests focus on my family, and enjoying the great outdoors. I love hiking and backpacking, caving, rock climbing, biking, kayaking and just about anything that gets me out in the woods. As such, I'm a big supporter of activities to help preserve or restore our great outdoors. MCCI is too, and that is one of the things which made MCCI attractive. MCCI is a very green company, using green materials to renovate the Headquarters and going eco friendly where possible. I won't go into details here, but you can read more about MCCI's green focus at this link. Also, MCCI is making this trip possible by giving me the flexibility to work and make this trek at the same time. I'll be on the water and blogging during days, but in the evenings and night, I'll be continuing to work my normal job. The boat is my temporary office, its a little small, and lacks air conditioning but that's just fine.
Ok, enough about me, here's Joe.

About Joe:
ReplyDeleteLike Jason, I am a telecommuter and standards road warrior. I moved from MCCI to CSR in order to follow my passion for wireless connectivity.
I like outdoors: cycling, swimming, kayaking. However, before the trip it had been a long time since I spent a lot of time camping.
Besides work and outside activities, I am into my family and public service. I am happily married to Deb Freng, and we have 4 kids in their 20s. I am an officer in IEEE Region 6, covering Oregon, Washington and Alaska. I am active in the Issaquah Citizens' Corp, supporting public safety in the city we live in.
If I had time, I would join another band.
