My Personal Background


Hey, I see you decided to learn more... Here goes...


This is October, 1994, and I decided, after being urged by friends, to shave my head and be Mickey Knox from Natural Born Killers for Halloween...

I am a 19-year-old male with blonde hair, blue eyes, and I am 6 feet tall. I was born in Anchorage, Alaska, but I lived most of my life in northeastern Oregon--in a place called Helix (or should I say "A hole called..."). The town is home to 165 people, most of them elderly. Want to see a map? Go ahead and just click here. Small huh? Note the bar which says "500 ft." It covers like half the friggin' town... now tell me that isn't small. Anyway... I graduated as the valedictorian in a class of seven people in 1995. I went to West Point after graduating, but soon found that my goal of becoming a botanist or a horticulturist could not be met by attending that institution. I left after an exciting 5.5 weeks there, and I am now attending the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Needless to say, I am now living in Alaska... I am a biological sciences major at UAF, pursuing my goal of botany. This is my second year here, and I plan on graduating in 1999. In case you want to know about Fairbanks, take my word for it... winters are cold, summers are hot... this place has all the extremes! If you are an outdoors person though, this is the place to be.
