Jeremy D. Zawodny and his two cats moved from Northwest Ohio to Silicon Valley
in late 1999, so he could work for Yahoo!—just in time to witness the dot-com
bubble bursting firsthand. He spent eight and half years at Yahoo!, helping to put
MySQL and other open source technologies to use in fun, interesting, and often very
big ways.
In recent times, he’s rediscovered his love of aviation, earning a private pilot glider
license in early 2003 and his commercial pilot rating in 2005. Since then he’s spent
far too much of his free time flying gliders out of Hollister, California and the Lake
Tahoe area. He also flies single engine light airplanes now and then, coowning a
Citabria 7KCAB and Cessna 182. Occasional consulting work helps to pay for his
flying addiction.
Jeremy lives in the San Francisco Bay Area of California with his wonderful wife and
their four cats. He blogs at jeremy.zawodny.com/blog.
