Charlie McEwen
"Gary" (Security Guard)

Charlie was born and raised in Albany, New York. He wrote his first program at age 8, built his own computer from spare parts at 15 and by 16 doing bug test, systems administration and software refinement for an internet based company. From there he left the company to finish high school, left high school with no desire to go to college and spent several years working dead end jobs, exploring the northeast and collecting stories. Then deciding it was time for something new he drove across the country with 600$ in his pocket and 2 friends. Ending up in oceanside,CA he quickly found out 600$ is not enough to find an apartment or get by on long enough to find a job. So he spent the next 11 months homeless, working temp labor and trying to put something together before giving up and flying back to Albany. At this point Charlie decided to take on a serious career and used previous experience to get a job in another internet company where he still works. After working there for 2 years, the company had him relocate to their main office in LA.
