Durbin's Bar Guide Updated: 16 May 2008 The Personal Side I'm Frank Robert Durbin, I was born in Seattle WA, and raised in Torrance CA. Old friends are always welcome to contact me.
What have I been up to? Well, I became an application developer in '93, bounced around Los Angeles a couple times before landing in West Hills with a job in Calabasas writing medical software. Unfortunately business went downhill for that company, and I joined the ranks of the unemployed during an unpleasant merger. As it turned out, I was at that company for so long that I wasn't the hotshot programmer I used to be -- so it was time to update my skills.
I'm currently enrolled at DeVry University, and will graduate in June of '09 to restart my career. Since I'm the last Durbin in the area, I'm also planning on finding greener pastures.
I'm looking forward to packing the cat in the car and listening to him howl a farewell as I leave Los Angeles. :)
