Well, this marks it!  After much deliberation and wavering, I have finally decided to start blogging.  This post represents the first in hopefully a long line of posts on the Zupancic Perspective.  Allow me to introduce myself.  My name is Aaron Zupancic.  I am a native of Las Cruces, NM.  I am the oldest of six children.  Back in 1991 I graduated from Mayfield High School.  Shortly thereafter I took two years to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Mazatlan, Mexico.  In Jan 1992 (just months prior to my mission) I moved up to Salt Lake City, Utah with my father.  Since my early years I have had a stong inclination towards computers and the so called 'technical' realm.  This devotion has continued on to the present.  I have had the opportunity to be a trainer for several years.  How I love to teach!  Following that, a friend and former student of mine, Ryan Redmond hired me to a software developer for a small company called Avysta Software.  I functioned as a technical team lead and architect of a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system that grew quickly and continues to thrive.  Soon thereafter my devotions fell to consulting.  I had the opportunity to offer my services as a Microsoft Consultant - what a thrill!  Microsoft is awesome, despite what some people may say (I might just blog about that one some day).  Currently, I am a consultant for Keane, Incorporated in Salt Lake City and am happy to be there, offering my services.

My hopes for this blog are high.  The primary reason for establishing it is to disseminate my discoveries, techniques, and insights into the world of software development.  There are other motives too, of course, but that is the main one.  I love software development and want to share what I know and learn with the greater community.

Hopefully this blog will be useful to those that use it and scour its pages.  Please feel free to provide comments and ideas.  I look forward to ongoing feedback and interaction.
