A little bit about me

Okay here is a little bit of my history. I am 43 years old. I grew up in Thornton Colorado. When I was a Senior in High School my Mom, Dad and I moved to Casper Wyoming. I moved back to Denver the week after graduating. I joined the Army and was in the 82nd Airborne Division. After two years, eight months, three weeks, and four days, I was medically retired from the Army. I have tunnel vision, not only for real but also in a lot of my personal views. After getting out of the Army I went to the University of Colorado in Boulder. I was of the wrong political party to survuve there. While I did my time in the Republic of Boulder I was amazed by witnessing firsthand the indoctrinization of the American youth. These 18 year olds would sit in class and unquestioningly just accept as gospel what the Professors would spew forth. Never once calling BS. I called BS and was persauded that I might want to rethink my educational calling.

I got a job installing alarms and got to travel this Great Nation. To date I have been to 49 states. I only need to get to Hawaii to get the Upgrade. Working for the alarm company got me started in Electronics. After the company went defunct, I decided to take my bonus miles I earned and go to Europe for awhile. At twenty five I spent some time hitch hiking around Europe before coming back to the USA.

When I got back, I moved to Grand Junction Colorado. I met and married my wife there. My first son was born there. I got a job at 84 Lumber and was moved to Rock Springs Wyoming. This is where my second son was born. We then were transferred to a store in Alamogordo New Mexico, where my daughter was born. My wife decided that three kids was enough so off I go to get fixed, OUCH. (As a side note, to any guy that is going to get a vasectomy bring along a friend and a baseball bat. Have the friend hit you senseless so you do not have to be awake while they cut open your, you get the picture.) We were the transferred to El Paso Texas and my relationship with 84 Lumber ended. We moved back to Grand Junction and I could not find a job that would pay enough to support the five of us. So we moved back to Thornton.

I got a job at Pepsi and worke there for almost a year before I was injured on the job. Now let me state for the record that the Workman's Comp system SUCKS. It is not set up for the worker. I spent three years in the system. I had a closed head injury. The effects were that I couldn't talk correctly, stuttered bad, Blinding Migraines, some personality changes and a stiff neck. After two years of speech therepy, I could talk. After two years of going to a head doctor, the agreed I wasn't making any of it up. And after three years of being in the system, I was free.

While I was doing my time in the system I went to a Novell sys admin course. Here I am with a head injury, can't remember my name half the time, and I'm going back to school. I guess I was crazy. I got a job for a Technical School as their Sys Admin. Then after a year I got a job with a major aerospace company. Then I went back to a different Technical School to teach. From their I started with the company I am currently with. I have been with the company for seven years and still find my work challenging.

Now you are up to speed on my past.
