I am Martin Vlach
Why Czechmec?
Well, I am unique, just like everybody else. I was looking for a username some decades ago, and several things about me came together. I was born in Prague, Czech Republic, I emigrated to North America (first to Canada, then to the US) and learned English. Later, I learned French as I was raising my family, I am a guy, and in French a guy is a “mec.” So, I am Czechmec.
Nature is my inspiration
I devoted a large part of my life to a career in high tech as a software engineer, numerical mathematician, and an entrepreneur. In 2016, I switched gears, and became a volunteer small business mentor and, to my surprise, a woodworker and an artist. When I am not in front of my computer, meeting with clients, or in my workshop, I look to nature to find some peace and perhaps inspiration, either in the mountains or near some water – or better yet, both.
