Today (yesterday, actually, but that's not a work day) marks five years working at F5 Networks. This is the first job in my 17-year career I've made it past the four year mark, having spent the majority of my early years chasing the start-up dreams before settling in to building lasting skills and relationships. Sometimes I jumped for the money, but more often I moved on for the opportunities to learn new things.

Much thanks to Jeff Browning and F5 Networks for taking a chance on me. It's been a great ride, and I'm very much looking forward to the next five years of hard work and innovation here at F5.
