My Life Story... (abridged)

I was born in Montevideo, Minnesota in June 1976 to my mom, Lorie.

I graduated from MACCRAY High School in Clara City and followed up with one and a half semesters of college at Willmar Community College (now called Ridgewater College (I think))

After leaving WCC I was a graves-shift cook for six months before deciding to join the navy... hmmmmm. OK.

I went to boot camp and my first year of training, an hour north of Chicago(still one of my favorite cities). I had almost another year in Dahlgren, VA before reporting to the USS Hue City in "Sunny" Mayport, Florida.

A beach-bum to the soul, I used to love spending time in the sun when I did't have to work (and sometimes when I did.)

Now I'm in New Jersey. Wow. I got a job working for a pretty swell company, where I spend most of my days waiting for reliable equipment to break so that I may fix it. I bought a condo in Jackson and miss the fact that I was living 10 blocks from the beach for a quarter the cost. I like the state otherwise except that there are no palm trees and the weather is not great.

I hope to go back to my village of Jacksonville (Jax) Beach one day, or maybe buy a vacation home there. I've begun to ramble so I guess that's all. :)
