TRIRIGA
- November 2005 to the Present - Most recently, upgraded my technical position as a Technical Writer/Editor for the Professional Services Department of TRIRIGA, a leading Software-500 company in the Integrated Workplace Management Solutions (IWMS) industry. Curiously, since October 2003, my personal online presence as "xJAYMANx" emerged and faded on various "Matrix" and "Firefly" forums, but has remained active on LiveJournal, Wikipedia, MySpace, and LasVegasOtaku. In July 2006, after 8 years of marriage, Jennifer and I divorced.

Coldwell Banker
- November 2002 to October 2003 - Began my ambitious pursuit of an exciting and lucrative new career in the fields of real estate, mortgage loans, and/or home appraisals.

Unfortunately, despite 2 real estate transactions totalling $600,000, this career wasn't for me. Consequently, in October 2003, I resigned as an active Realtor®.
