Hello from buzztouch Minnesota!

My name is Susan Metoxen and I am a buzztouchaholic. I fell in love with programming and making apps a couple years ago. In fact, I love it so much that I quit my health care administration job in June 2012 so I could focus on making apps full time. Finding buzztouch was a miracle--before I found buzztouch I was struggling through tutorials in my effort to learn iOS. Fast forward a few years and I have numerous apps on the App Store and Play Store, and most would not be there without buzztouch. I love buzztouch and the buzztouch community! The name of my company is White Buffalo. Over a decade ago, my step-daughter gave us a little white buffalo statue and explained to us that the birth of a white buffalo is considered a good omen for Sioux Indians. Ever since then I planned to name my own company White Buffalo. Here is a link to my website: http://www.whitebuffalosolutions.com. Over the next few months I am planning on studying iOS and Android and using what I learn to make more plugins that work on both iOS and Android. After that, I plan to launch a business making apps for companies. My draft business proposition is at http://whitebuffalomobile.com. I live in Hopkins, Minnesota (near Minneapolis) with my husband, my son with a computer science degree, two Pembroke Welsh Corgis, and a cat. I have three step-grandchildren in Denver and Phoenix who I visit several times a year. It has been so great to get to know all of you the last few weeks!

Hello Susan! It's been great getting to know you here on the buzztouch forum, and even on the webinar a few weeks ago. Your contributions to buzztouch have been amazing and hugely helpful! I sincerely hope the best for your business venture. Based on what I've seen thus far, I suspect you'll be spectacularly successful! Looking forward to potentially meeting up with you and others in AZ this winter! Mark

Susan, Meeting you through buzztouch has been a life changing experience. You have become such a close friend and business partner. I value your insight and compassion. You have helped me in so many ways. From walking me through a coding problem to opening your home when you hardly even knew me. You are an extremely awesome person and we are so lucky to have you in the buzztouch community. Your passion made it possible for a woman want to be developer get out of her basement and socialize. You changed my life... Thank you for everything!!!

Thank you so much, everyone! It means a lot to me. I went out on a limb to change careers, and your support means everything! Great Corgi pic! I should make a Corgi app.
