Welcome to my web page on IT in Greece! The picture you see above was taken at the Temple of Poseidon in Sounio, Greece. According to mythology, the god Poseidon and the goddess Athena once fought to see who would rule the Acropolis upon which the Parthenon stands. Apparently, Athena won the battle and Poseidon was forced to look elsewhere for a temple to honor him. Since he was the god of the seas the ancient people of Greece built this Temple at the peak of a cliff which overlooks the Aegean Sea. Even to this day, all ships wanting to pass through the Aegean, must sail by the temple first...to seek the blessing of the gods!

I am a 26 year old Greek/American who was raised within a strong Greek heritage, filled with traditions and morals. My parents are both from Greece, and I have two older sisters Melina & Eliana. The most important thing in my life is my family who have been my inspiration to always try my best, succeed, and never give up in anything I do. I grew up living in the United States while frequently visiting Greece during summer & winter vacations. Now that I'm older, my appreciation and love for the country has grown ever-strong.

Currently, I am a graduate student attending the American University in Washington DC. I have reached the end of my educational-rope as I will be receiving my MBA on January 28, 1995. This web page was one of the several tasks which AU asked for me to present for my curriculum studies in Information Systems. Below, you will find two musical .wav files for you listening pleasure, (never let it be said that I'm not creative). I hope this web page has been informative for you, and please keep "surfin' the web"...you'll be surprised with what you can find!
