The "Other" Jeff Pulver(s)
Growing up, there was another Jeff Pulver living across town from me (in the same grade) and every once in a while the computer used by the school district was confused by our similar names. Report cards were sent to the wrong homes, family court more than once called looking for "me", all sorts of fun stuff.
At my high school, there were some teachers who were equally confused, although we didn't look anything like each other and attended for the most part different high schools.
Things got really confusing when his family moved when he was in 12th grade and we attended the same high school for a year.
When my entrepreneurial spirit first hit me and I started a computer consulting company back in the summer of 1978, I first became aware of Jeff V. Pulver from New Jersey who was also involved in offering computer consulting services.
These days every once in a while I receive a confused email from a net friend who reads about Jeff Pulver, Siebel vice president of worldwide marketing. and wonders why I decided to make a career change. ;-)
One of these days when Siebel decides to exhibit at one of our VON Conferences, I hope to meet the other Jeff.
