Software Giant Has Unique Information Technology Role

摘要

When he is not selling softwarernto federal agencies and majorrncorporations, Curt Kolcunrnlikes to unwind on his 26-rnacre "farm" near the historicrntown of Leesburg, Virginia,rnabout 40 miles northwest of Washington,rnD.C. The capital commute sometimes canrnseem like capital punishment, but Kolcunrndoesn't seem to mind.rnIn fact, he likes to tool around on what he says is his "other automobile," a tractor he uses to clear brush and mow his fields. He also enjoys splitting firewood and tending to his apple trees and blueberry plants. The spread is a perfect antidote to the rigors of life in Washington and the challenges of running a more than $ 1 billion enterprise.rn"It's not a real working farm, but we do live out in the country," Kolcun says. "Taking walks and working on the property is where you are going to find me most weekends. My wife and I moved out here in the 1990s to get some space. We love the outdoors. It's where I get my solace."
