My occupation is blank because I am suffering from kidney disease. I have had two kidney transplants, one in '91 and the second in '05. The second one is doing well, but kidney transplants are subject to failure without warning.

I have written a number of screenplays, and hope to see them produced somewhere down the road.

My memories of school center around activities the marching band, and band classes did. The pep ralleys were always a blast. But the one memory that sticks out in my mind the most was on the evening of our graduation. As I am sure you all remember, Mr. Dalton was being removed from ACR as the principal. I remember the speach he gave us before our graduation. Our class rallied around him, cheered for him and seemed to be in complete unity as we pulled for him to continue as ACR's principal. He ended up leaving ACR, but nothing compares to that unity I felt with my fellow graduates that evening.

I am in school earning my second degree. The first degree was an Associates Degree in Paralegal Studies. This degree is an Associates Degree in Photographic Technologies.

My dogs, girlfriend and I love to go hiking. We are both in school for photography so you can imagine how many pictures we take. I write screenplays and poetry. If it is a way of creative expression, I enjoy doing it. I also have to admit that I spend WAY too much time on the computer, but a lot of it is research for writing and photography.

I also love watching movies, especially '80's movies. And I really love to read.

If there is one thing that I have learned from life in the past 20 years it is that it's as fun as you make it.
