My daughter reminded me of a clip from our favorite show in which they incorrectly think "Phil" (dude Dad from Modern Family) reminds them of me.    I don't agree of course, because I truly am a cool Dad.  but  here is a sign of the respect I get at my house...



And definitely I am more Hip than this too

AD 648 Intro To Roger Milton




Hi, I have been Roger for a few decades, living half my life in Silicon Valley (Los Gatos, CA).  I am married and have two teenage daughters (poor me!  Thus the title of my blog).  I grew up in Chicago and Michigan and graduated with a B.S. Computer Science from Michigan State University (GO SPARTANS!).  Upon earning my degree I realized I was not meant to be an engineer and went into Technical Sales for a large semiconductor company.  I moved to Silicon Valley with my 2nd company and have enjoyed a career in Sales and Business Dev for Semiconductor and Embedded Software companies.  I've managed a small business and  worked for large multi-national corporations and start-ups.  

I took a temporary detour and started an early stage angel fund along the way.    I am self-educated in the financial markets, securities trading and Angel investing.    These interests  motivated me to "validate" my education with BU's MS BFSM program.   This is my 2nd class.

I have no blogging experience but ironically I was thinking of starting a blog on male midlife crisis featuring a household with menopause and female puberty all in one!   The stories I can tell will surely appeal to at least 49.3% of the U.S. population (http://www.chacha.com/question/what-is-the-ratio-of-men-to-women,-in-the-u.s)

At times I do enjoy my family and believe life is all about balance and growing oneself whenever possible, and boy these three women have grown (and tortured) me in ways I didn’t expect….
