Welcome to Fettigfamily.com and others.  Thank you for visiting.  I am constantly trying to update this page with more useful information.  I am Sheldon Fettig.  This site is dedicated to everything I do for myself.  It will be a long process of updating.  Just a quick information about me.  I grew up in a tiny town in western North Dakota.  My father owned a general contracting company.  I worked for him seasonally as soon as I could through college.  I learned how to build a house, pour concrete, drive machinery and most importantly, make customers happy.  I have worked in technology for 20+ years living in Fargo, St. Louis, and Raleigh.  I have an awesome family and I love to bowl and play softball.  My full CV is below.
