Biography
General Info
My name is Jason Bock. I was born on 03.09.1971 (which makes me 37 years old), and I was married on 09.20.1997 to Elizabeth Myers:
We have two sons, Hayden and Ryan, and we have two cats, Tut, and Tweak. I'm 5' 11'', 215 pounds and I have big feet (you know what they say about guys with big feet ... they're great guitar players. I know, I don't understand the analogy either ...)
Education
I grew up in the wild and wacky town of Oostburg, WI - consequentially, I got my high school diploma at Oostburg High School. After considering an attempt at becoming a music star (which resulted in a good-natured intellectual slap in the head from my parents), I realized that the world of music does not lead to a steady paycheck unless you have connections and/or you're extremely good. Therefore, I decided to attend Marquette University. I must have enjoyed it so much (or I just didn't want to deal with the real world for a while - take your pick), I got a bachelors and masters degree in electrical engineering.
Work Experience
I've worked at Quad/Graphics, Keane, High Gear, Magenic, and a training company since I graduated from MU - I'm currently employeed by Magenic (again!).
Interests
My main interest are music, reading, programming, weightlifting, golf, and tennis.
