I am an Arizona native, one of the few left, that is for sure! Phoenix may as well be hell for the hot miserable weather. The sun is out 85-90% of the year and our summers average in the 110-120 degree range. Winters are nice, but only last a few short months and just don't make up for the rest of the year.
Overpopulation, crime, and pollution are at all time highs, making the heat only one of many problems of living here....So I ventured way out into the Northwest Valley to try to make a home where the air was a little cleaner and the streets a little quieter and safer.
(here is a chance to show off some of my night photography)
I graduated with Honors from DeVry Institute for Technology in October of 1998 with an Associate of Applied Science in Electronics .
I previously attended Glendale Community College to acquire the core classes needed towards my medical degree. While in attendance there I became certified as a Technician in Emergency Medicine.
I tried to return to school to work towards a Bachelors of Electrical/Optical Engineering degree to enhance my current career, but school has been put on hold for more important things in life, more specifically, my children.
I graduated from Greenway High School with honors under their Advanced Studies Diploma program. I was active in the Theatre Arts program with many lead roles in the the plays as well as handling set construction, music, sound, and lighting.
I have had a variety of jobs the past 10 years most of which revolved around customer service, collections, financial counseling, internet technical support and that sort of thing.
I stumbled into this line of work back in high school as it was much better pay then flipping burgers, but got stuck in it and have not been able to escape. I started a job in April 1997 with US West as an Apprentice Network Technician. That was good experience, but working outside in Arizona is not a real bright career goal!
Just Prior to graduation from DeVry I obtained a great job as an Engineering Technician for Honeywell Laboratories. I work on assembling,integrating, testing and repair of Laser Driven Fiber Optic Gyroscopic systems designed for navagation in a variety of applications.
So what do I like to do when I am not at work?
I enjoy surfing the internet, sending and receiving EMAIL and chatting with others, usually on Yahoo Messenger
I taught myself to write HTML and that is how this page was created.
Although I haven't done it in a long long while, I also enjoy PC Gaming with games like Hexen, Doom II, Heretic, Quake and Duke Nukem etc, especially online. with other players.. that is a real blast. I also have gotten myself into PC repair and upgrades sort of as a side hobby and have been playing around with that for several years.
When not indoors, I enjoy several other activities including: Golfing, bowling weightlifting, bike riding, hiking and camping, fishing for Carp!, and taking my 4x4 off road. I love spending time outdoors and especially at the lakes. Bartlett Lake is my favorite. Lots of partying, boating, skiing, offroading, and of course, great fishing !).
But for 2001, my main 2 activities are now Rollerblading and Disc-Golf. I put on my first pair of Rollerblades and now I hate to take them off. I skate around the neighborhood or at the parks around the valley any chance I get. And when the weather is nice, a good round of Disc-golf will lift your spirits and your mood.
Ok, do you want to get personal ?
Lets talk about life, and about love, and about finding that perfect someone who completes your life.
