I figure I should have something on my blog to tell my readers a little bit about me, so hear goes.

My name is Chris Patterson, I work in Raleigh, NC for Microsoft as a Senior Program Manager in the Visual Studio Team Test product unit. Before this I worked for Together Soft corporation, now part of Borland, for 5 years.  Before Microsoft and TogetherSoft/Borland I worked in a variety of startups in the web 1.0 time frame and I did not get rich.  Suprisingly one of them is still in business.

I have a wonderful wife and 3 children.  I enjoy gadgets and technology for technology sake.  I have competed in a few Triathlons.  I enjoy photography. I am an eagle scout. I majored in Music Education at Applachian State University.  I am a huge college sports fan, GO MOUNTAINEERS and GO HEELS!
