Hello, my name is Pattie Arnold. I am the most eclectic member of my family. I have always taken chances and trod where angels feared to go. Over the course of my 40 some years, I have had many different careers and business twists. My mom says I’m just not focused and that I’ve not grown up and figured out what to do. I say that if I have to choose just one thing, then I’m doomed. Doomed I say, to a life of boredom, so no I will not just choose one job focus and stick to that. I will continue to have my hands in many different areas. My main interest is in the technology fields. This began as a young girl when my father, while working for the US Military developing cipher code, brought home some programming boards and allowed us kids to play. He later became one of the first computer service companies in Tucson AZ where I grew up. I worked for my father, and he taught me to “pin” cable and install TI networks and my stepmother taught me to keypunch. That was the beginning of my interest in the whole IT arena. And it hasn’t stopped; in fact since I’ve gotten on the Internet, I stayed so jazzed everyday.

But throughout my entire life I have done other things and created businesses for the phases of my life. Like when my son was born, I opened a family day care in my home. During that time, I learned how the mind of a child works and how to relate to these emerging beings. That was probably the hardest job I had. It’s very difficult to reason with a toddler. However, at the same time working with those small children was very easy. They are simply motivated by one thing – getting what they want. That’s it; they want what they want when they want it. There’s no politics, no hidden agendas, and at the end of the day you got hugs from everyone!

After my son grew tired of sharing his toys, I joined the US Army. While in the Army I got experience in teaching and technical writing. I did write some very technical manuals and some of my writing was turned into regulation. Upon discharge from the military, I traveled the US and other parts of the world training EMT’s, physicians, and nurses in the care of Chemical, Biological, and Nuclear casualties. Giving me a great opportunity to work with some of the world’s top specialists in medicine. I just love having the opportunity to relate to so many different segments of society. People fascinate me and having the chance to pick someone’s brain in their area of expertise is so cool.
