About Neil Patel
I figured that if you've been reading my blog you deserve to know a little more about me and what sort of path has led me to where I am today. I guess these days most bios can end up sounding the same, so I'll try and give you a bit of personal detail so you know who I am outside of work.
I was born in London and moved to California in 1988. Since then, I've lived in Orange County which is a bit south of Los Angeles. I must say that while London is a great place, the California weather has certainly kept me from moving back to London.
I have always had a passion for computers, but it wasn't until the Internet became main stream that I started learning about websites and how everything works. So in 2003 I decided to work at ACS where I am currently CTO and loving the work that I do.
Since the inception of ACS, I have project managed the creation of Crazy Egg and other applications on the side and continue to expand my knowledge in networking, software, and the Internet. I am also obtaining a business degree from California State University of Fullerton such that I can learn more about business and add value to ACS.
On the side, I like to go to the gym and stay healthy despite the fact that I am losing all of my hair. I am a fan of home theater and of course keeping up to date on the latest sleeping trends. Overall, I enjoy communicating with everybody in every aspect that I can.
