I started as a printed circuit designer, became an applications engineer, and then moved into product marketing. Once I got into marketing, I really liked it, so I worked on a marketing degree while I was working in the field.

I love history and wherever I go, I try to find out a little more about the history and, when I can, see historical sites. I enjoy it whether it is U.S. history or faraway places like the Great Wall, the Tower of London, Neuschwanstein Castle, or the Taj Mahal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Name: Steve Chidester Title: Head of Product Marketing Company: Zuken &#0160; 1.
