Way back in December 1994 Eileen and I moved to Vancouver so that I could join a 200 person company named Creo Inc. The company grew (eventually to 4000 people worldwide before being acquired by Kodak) and I was always able to find new challenges; however the last year or so has not been quite as exciting or challenging or rewarding as I&#8217;d hoped.<\/p>\n<p>Last week I accepted an offer from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sophos.com\">Sophos Inc.<\/a> here in Vancouver.
