Steve Jobs 1955 - 2011

I was fortunate to be coming of age as Apple introduced the first viable personal computer. I wasn't fortunate to own one of my own until I went to college, however in elementary school I was lucky enough to have the (at the time) ubiquitous Apple ][ in the computer lab. My "uncle", son of a close family friend, worked for Apple for a brief time, and my father got a machine on loan from him to use in writing his thesis for his Masters degree. Apple's products have always been in the background of my life.

The engineers at Apple sparked my imagination about what computers could do, and Steve Jobs' personal example kept me inspired and focused in my life. I, too, dropped out of college in my first year. I never let that stop me from pursuing my dreams. I now support my family of four as a Systems Engineer, a job I never would have even thought about had it not been for my hands on experience with Apple's amazing products and ideas.

The world is a better place because of Steve Jobs, and I feel I owe him a personal debt. I will forever be grateful to him for his spirit, his innovation, and his drive.

He will be missed by many.
