Erik Gross had an odd journey into tech. He grew up in the redwoods of California, off the grid with no running water in a tee pee. However, there was a pivotal moment in his life when his Dad brought home an old school computer, and taught him about the internals, hardware, binary, and removed all mystery from computers. He had a career in the Navy as a nuclear reactor operator, and gained a lot from the training methods of the Navy. Outside of tech, he is married with kids, and recently moved to Louisiana. He enjoys cigars, and tasting whiskey on occasion.Erik has a background in training, while being a working engineer. He continuously took on side gigs, where he would need to have a junior engineer join him - and he couldn&#39;t find them. He decided to build a program that created this engineers for him, and was affirmed when he found a competitor doing the same thing.This is the creation story of <a href="https://www.learncodinganywhere.com" rel="nofollow">The Tech Academy</a>.Sponsors<ul><li><a href="https://cachefly.com/codestory" rel="nofollow">CacheFly</a></li><li><a href="https://clearquery.io/codestory" rel="nofollow">ClearQuery</a></li></ul>Links<ul><li><a href="https://www.learncodinganywhere.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.learncodinganywhere.com</a></li><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/yourcareerarchitect/" rel="nofollow">https://www.linkedin.com/in/yourcareerarchitect/</a></li></ul>  Support this podcast at — <a rel='payment' href='https://redcircle.com/code-story/donations'>https://redcircle.com/code-story/donations</a> Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a> Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href='https://redcircle.com/privacy'>https://redcircle.com/privacy</a>
