After graduating High School I attended the University of Denver for 3 years and then transfered to the University of Puget Sound where I graduated with a BA in Business Administration.
I then moved to Germany and went to an intensive German language school for 9 months.
I moved back to Yakima for one month and took a job as an assistant ski coach at White Pass. I was there for 4 months and took another Job as a Manager for a drilling company on the North slope of Alaska in Prudhoe Bay (Deadhorse). I spent 3 years bouncing from the slope and Federal Way, WA where the main offices for the company were located.
I then officially moved to the Bush of Alaska and took another Job managing a couple of factory trawlers in the Bering sea.
I started a company in 1985 in which my father took over because i was in Alaska too much to run the company. In 1992 I left the Bush and moved to Seattle and went to work Lovering Arts(Sales company).
In 1997, I married my wife Julia (from Vancouver, BC) and moved to Surrey, BC and worked out of our Seattle office.
In July of 2002 I moved to Sparks with my lovely wife and chillens to work our California and Nevada offices and territory. I worked in Lovering Arts until June of 2005 and decided i needed a change in life.
I was hired as a developer for a small firm and worked as a developer for a couple of years before being promoted to a Technical Program manager. In the last couple of months my position has changed again and i am currently helping in designing a new software system and will be designing the Training programs.
I still ski a great deal but have also taken up snowboarding and training in a mixed Martial Arts school.
My wife Julia has a number of websites that she manages and she also works part time at a sporting goods store here in Sparks (Scheels).
Both my kids ski and train in Martial Arts. My oldest Nicholson this last May received his Black Belt in Tae Kwan Do. My youngest (wild as can be) is a blue senior in Tae Kwan Do and is a wild man on his ski's, skateboard bike and whatever else he starts to learn.
Life is kept pretty simple and enjoy Living, learning and doing as much as I possibly can in the years that i have aboard spaceship Earth.
