First - Thanks to Tony Cappadoro for putting these sites togehter, hats off to him.
Best way to see what I'm up to is on my websites (www.davehickson.com & www.truemuths.com) or Facebook. I do think about our high school days a lot, they were great times. It’s hard for me to understand why some people didn’t like their high school days…
I certainly wasn't the best student back then, was clearly more focused on fun than academia. Went into the Marines, college, and then went to work for IBM in late 1980. Worked for IBM for 5 years, left, started my own technology company, had built and sold 3 companies by 1999.
Recently started two new companies, ThreeRiversGroup, in 2002, and DataOceans in late 2005, www.ThreeRiversGroup.com and www.DataOceans.com
When I sold my last company in 1999, I traveled for the acquirer setting up offices in Eurasia. As much as I love to travel for business and pleasure, standing on American soil after an extended trip is like a religious experience for me, thus I tend to study politics & economics intensely, both domestic and international.
Life has been interesting, great times, a few sad times… A horribly traumatic divorce about 10 years ago now…
I took a 4 year hiatus, with an extended trip on my sailboat, to check-out for a while. Sailed, surfed, looked up to the heavens at night, pondered life, the next steps and goals, a lot of deep thought about life and drank more aged-Rum than I care to admit.
One of my favorite quotes; “we’re not human beings having a spiritual experience, but spiritual beings having a human experience…” That sums up a lot for me and my views…
Much of my free-time (which I don't have a ton of) is occupied either on the Ocean, traveling, or studying and writing about ancient civilizations, starting with the Sumerians, have 2-3 books I want to write, when time allows.
I hope everyone is doing great, truly…
Dave
