Who your contact is, why you want to connect with them, and what you want to talk about
- I actually have a couple people I plan to connect with before the end of this mod. My first is a family friend through my girlfriend. Jim was actually the one who suggested I look into to Turing, he's been a programmer for nearly 30 years. I want to reach out with jim to connect and ask him advice on getting into the industry.

I as a grew older my love of technology and gear began to arise, and I became obsessed with computers and everything they could do for my creative mindset. I distinctly remember when we got our first real PC when I was about 9. For a good 5 years after that point I would beg my parents to go to Blockbuster, they always thought I just really liked renting movies, however what I was really interested in was grabbing stacks of AOL free monthly trial CDs.
