David Mielcarek is employed as the Internet/Domain Administrator at Lower Columbia College in Washington State. Most of the time, he utilizes one of ten programming languages to get the job done.
Starting his career as a telecommunications cryptologist in the Air Force, he merged into the corporate world. Following a term with Lockheed, he increased his abilities by taking on larger positions. In 1994, the Internet became his mainstay, and it remains so to this day.
Juggling an educational position, outside-work through his GoldBorder.com site, and raising a family of three kids, 11 cats, two dogs, and two rats allows little time for his love of drawing. You can often find him taking his short breaks at the nearest table to pencil something in his art pad.
