About Me ======== November 4, 2009 My Name is Rob Sayers, as of this writing I'm 28. I'm married to a wonderful woman named Karen, we have a chihuahua named mia, and a rat terrier named Trajan. I'm a web developer at Megagate Broadband, a phone company and ISP located in Hattiesburg MS. It's a good job and I get to work with a great group of people I was born in Tulsa OK but moved away when I was young, I remember nothing of Oklahoma actually. We lived all over growing up, my dad was retired from the military and had a serious case of wanderlust (which I now belive is genetic). We eventually settled in Petal Mississippi when I was 14. I graduated High School there in 2000. I moved around throughout the state and eventually moved to Curacao, Netherland Antilles in 2006 for a development job. It's a tiny island located off the coast of Venezeula in the Caribbean. While I stayed there only a short while, I met some great people (Kiko ta kiko Diego?) and my time living there changed me a lot. It opened my eyes in many ways and changed how I view the world politically and spiritually. After that I moved back to the Hattiesburg area. There's no place like home I guess. Karen and I are planning a move to Austin TX this summer to broaden our horizons. For hobbies I am an avid cyclist, I am a daily commuter and enjoy long distance touring. I love to program, I hope one day to get a job doing something other than programming so I have more time to program. I pretty much jump to a new hobby every so often, it's a trait I used to not care for, but after years of doing this, i've found I have a unique skillset from all my adventures through the years. I am also a runner, I've taken on a few 5k's this year, and in December I run my first marathon. I attend online classes at Western Governors Univeristy and am working on a degree in IT - Software. I started school at the University of Southern Mississippi in physics, then switched to religion. We'll see how this new degree path pans out for me.
