“I graduated from Wheaton College in 1992, worked in IT and then Software Quality Assurance. I test software for Hewlett-Packard these days, and started my own jazz quintet a few months ago after being diagnosed with cancer (good prog- nosis) which motivated me to pursue my jazz musician dream sooner rather than later. My wife Karen and I live in Wilsonville, OR with our two kids, Adric (age 4) and Anneka (age 7). See http://www.mikeprigodich.com for more details as well as audio and video.”
