Increasingly, police departments and government offices (customs agencies, NASA, even the FBI) rely on state-of-the-art investigation support from the Target Corp. (as in Target department stores), according to a January Washington Post report. Target's world-class forensics lab in Minneapolis is the first choice by many departments for examination of surveillance tapes and other evidence, and it was Target in the mid-1990s that finally moved agencies to coordinate previously incompatible databases of criminals (treating the felon population as a nationwide "inventory control" problem). A Target executive said he works for "a high-tech company masquerading as a retailer." [Washington Post, 1-29-06]
I was born in a little town in middle Tennessee named Manchester. It is located almost directly between Nashville and Chattanooga.
I attended a year of college in Cookeville at Tennessee Tech University before transferring to Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro. I finished my degree (in Television Production) at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. Following that, I lived in Nashville for a few years.
Then, I moved back home to Manchester for a job at Sverdrup which only lasted 2 years before I was laid off. During my unemployed period I met my wife while on a job-hunting trip to central Illinois. I got a job from that trip, moved, fell madly in love, got married and had a kid.
