ABSTRACT:  I will talk about my experiences in the area of Scientific Computing since finishing my PhD work in 1998.  I have worked at DoD, DoE, and NSF supercomputing centers over the last 13 years.  In this relatively short time, there have been significant changes in the area of supercomputing, and yet also some things have changed very little.  I will describe a few examples of the types of computational science projects that I have been a part of.  To conclude, a summary of what helped prepare me for this career path will be presented as well as other highly desirable traits in this field.
