In this installment of IT Origins, we had the good fortune to talk with Ken Nalbone. We discussed how he went from wanting to own a drum store to a career in IT. Along the way we discussed the impact of getting his Masters, why the principals of coding are more important than a specific language, and the importance of LAN parties.

For Ken’s book recommendation, be sure to check out IT Architect: Foundation in the Art of Infrastructure Design: A Practical Guide for IT Architects.
