About Me

I would be lying if I said that I LOVE writing, or speaking, an introduction about myself. I guess it causes a person to be reflective and somewhat self promoting, and seeing as I've never been a person to draw attention to myself, not saying I don't like to perform-as I am a musician/singer, the instruction to do so has always caused me hesitation. I love to give a good performance, but I hate the spotlight. Kind of an exercise in denial if you ask me.

Rather than go on and on with a chronological montage of my twenty-five years of life, I'll tell you about my life now, because the way I see it my life of the previous twenty-five years has led up to where I am now. I am twenty-five, as I just said in the previous sentence, and I'm getting married in three months. That has pretty much been the focus of my life over the past months, however, while seeming to consume my time, this introduction of romance to my life has also brought along many good things with it. I own my own home and have a one-year-old German Shepard, Husky mix named Chopper who has horrible destructive dendencies. If anyone knows how to cure a dog of digging holes, please let me know!

I live in between Kenai and Soldotna, an area that is starting to bloom a little bit economically at the moment....we're actually getting a WalMart! Not that I like WalMart or anything, but it brings an economical excitement to a small town like mine. Lowe's is coming in too. I guess the excitement I feel for the growth of the area is the increased possibility of good jobs/careers, as the growth of an area usually means more industry, more people, etc.. I'm not planning on spending the rest of my life in the area, but I would rather move by choice rather than neccesity because I can't find a suitable career.

I'm taking CIOS 256 as a requirement for the degree program that I am enrolled in through UAF, Information Technology Specialist. I've been in and out of college since I graduated highschool in 2000, but never really found a field that interested me enough to complete a degree in it. My returning is in part due to the amazing encouragement of my fiance who has inspired me to do something with my life and follow my dreams. I have always been good at computers, and after research into the state of the IT field, I decided that it would be an excellent career choice.

In addition to loving my fiance and computers, I also like football, cold beer, healthy food, red wine, traveling, watching movies, exercising, writing, reading, playing with my dog, playing guitar, and spending time with friends and family.
