Work Experience

Personal Sabbatical, Mark Eschbach, 2022 - 2023
Paid myself to spend time with family, community, and in nature. Basked in awesomeness of the Central Valley, soothed by the sounds of the Pacific Ocean lapping against the cliffs of Northern California, and communed with nature in elevations of the High Sierras. Muddled around with embedded platforms and home automation. Spent time with my kids and became Scoutmaster of our local Troop.
