Brief Self History: Born in a small town outside of New Bern, N.C. Graduated from High school in 1993. I didnt at the time know what i wanted to be or what i wanted to do with my life, so i went straight to finding a job to pass the time and make money. My first main job was with an industrial company that made computer racking and cable management products. For the first three years I grew up and learned many technical and hands on skills, such as Poly coating, tensil strength, tool and die, and supervision. In the year that followed I was asked to move to third shift to help balance out the work with the other employees that had been selected. it was a small group of around 9, but later grew to around 20 people. after the first month on the shift I was asked to supervise the group being that i was the most qualified/experienced of the group. I was at the age of twenty three. at the end of that year they moved everyone that was there on the shift too ether first or second shift. the only leading possition that was open was on second shift so I jumped at the chance and supervised up to 45 people. Durring the time on the shift I had decided to go back to collage, at the time I had wanted to be an Industrial Engineer. By the end of that year I had left the company and decided to go back to collage full time. After taking around 20 classes and finding out exactly how boring the profession I was going to college for really was going to be, I changed my major to Computer Programming. I was working for a local electrical company at the time to pay my way threw my schooling until a better offer came along. Part time at a local computer shop, doing anything from custom building to full network systems. after a year of working there and needing better work hours at the time i was offered a possition at a local yacht builder company as a electrical mechanic. After three months of service, my best friend who moved to Minnesota visited me and asked me to move up with him. over night my mind was set and Ihad already packed my truck and made the arrangements to move. A week after i was settled in and had my bearings straight I found my self in the emplyment of a industrial air conditioning company, doing computer navigated control programming. Durring my christmas Vacation i was asked if I was ever coming back to my home town and was offered my old PC tech job back. After 9 months of emplyment, and only knowing my best friend and those I worked with I found my self making the decision to go back to doing the thing I enjoyed doing the most and that i continue to do today.

Likes: Traveling, Doing things on the fly, Doing the things that make me happy, Not waisting a moment of time. Helping others, A good laugh, A good soul, My friends, My job

Dislikes: Those people who dont get over into the other lane when i come barreling up or down the on ramp. People who have the mentality of a sea shell (they make a lot of noise but are empty).
