I grew up in Rockaway NJ (or more specifically, White Meadow Lake -- "x"
marks the spot). Please, no Jersey jokes (and I don't have a "Joisey"
accent). Rockaway is actually a great place to live. I can't put my
finger on it, but there's something different that separates it from a
tpyical suburban community. I went to Morris Hills High School and
graduated in June, 1990. In April, 1996, my parents moved to Matthews,
NC (just east of Charlotte).

I graduated from Carnegie Mellon
University in Pittsburgh PA
in May, 1994. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in
Math /
Computer Science, with a minor in
French. Sure, it was a good
education, and I made a lot of friends there, but it was way too
expensive and stressful.

While at CMU I somehow got myself involved in a fraternity. You'll notice
that my list of people I know overlaps a
lot with the lists of brothers and alumni. What a coincidence, eh?

 I live in
Arlington VA, about 7 miles
west of Washington DC. I really
like the DC area, despite the politics, traffic, and high cost of living.
Seriously, though, there's a lot to see and do, and I have lots of friends
in the area.

I am a Principal at
American Management Systems.
AMS is a technical consulting firm, and I'm doing all sorts of cool
web stuff and programming for a product called
Procurement Desktop. I currently work in the
Fair Lakes office, about 20 miles west of downtown DC. You may use
paul_karlin@mail.amsinc.com
(note the underscore between my first and last name) to send me
work-related E-mail.

| J'ai étudié le français au lycée et
à CMU, mais malheureusement je n'ai pas beaucoup d'occasion de
l'utiliser (sauf pendant mes voyages au Canada). Si vous voulez
bavarder un peu, envoyez-moi un message à
pkarlin@crosswinds.net.
Je voudrais traduire toutes mes pages, mais ça ne sera pas
facile. |
I studied French in high school and at CMU, but unfortunately I
don't have much of a chance to make use of it (except during my trips
to Canada). If you'd like to chat, send me a message at
pkarlin@crosswinds.net. I
would like to translate all of my pages, but that won't be easy.

In June, 1996, my parents opened a
Pretzels
Plus store in Monroe, NC (near Charlotte). They also owned a
pretzel store in New Jersey (Pretzels Etc. in the Rockaway Townsquare
Mall) until 1989. Needless to say, we are a family of pretzel lovers.
(Hey, this could become great material for my
Picture Page...)
