I am an American. I grew up in Northern California so far north that Oregon was a stone’s throw away. My husband, Scott, and I have been together for almost 20 years. Our “kids” are 2 cats and 2 dogs (Daisy, Stinkyhead, Lucreasha & Peanut). <br> <br> I got hooked on computers when I managed a pizza delivery store that did "bug" testing for the software we used. Scott and I got our first computer in 1994 and Internet access a year later. Since then I have been surfing and learning as fast as I can. I signed up for anything and everything online. I found the freebies, sweepstakes and beta testing websites. I have beta tested software for companies like 3DO, Turbine, Berkeley Software, Microsoft and Near Death Studios to name a few. <br> <br> Scott started working for Schlumberger in Rock Springs, Wyoming during the summer of 2001. Just a couple of months later an SSA chapter was started. I jumped in with both feet as the Web Coordinator for the chapter. I had taken a couple of free HTML classes via the Internet. So with the help of some free software, I was able to build the website. After doing the local SSA website, I decided to go to college. The classes I wanted to take were not available locally so I opted for an education via the Internet. On July 1, 2006, I received a BS in Management/Information Technology Management. Now I am busy with the biggest project I have ever done. The project is a design of SSAfara.net adding both front & back office tools using Alfresco and LifeRay. I am grateful for all the SSA volunteers worldwide who are helping to complete this project. Without them, this project would not be possible. <br> <br> I believe communication and teamwork are the keys for a solid foundation in any organization. SSAW has had people both past and present who have started and built upon such a foundation. I am grateful for being given this opportunity to help Deysy, Anisa, Karen and the Area Coordinators to help maintain and build upon this great foundation. <p> Regards,<br> Melodie <br> </p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table>
