Photo Gallery A little about who I am. I was a kid of the 80's. Video games, roller skating, bowling and riding my bike were my preferred past-times. I did not like school and was glad when I was freed from high school. I used to stay on my computer for hours on end. It wasn't the most popular thing to do, but even if it were, I still would not have been very popular. I would stay up until 5am working on something on the computer and I loved it! But, at the time, unless you had good grades in high school, or parents that could pay your way into a prestigious university, the prospect of taking any advanced computer classes was well out of reach. I ended up as a security guard. It did allow me to smoke my cigarettes and keep graveyard hours, but the pay was miserable and the job was mind-numbing. At one point I even attempted community college, then gave up.

In 1997, I decided to quit smoking. I wasn't fond of coughing up 'yellow smurfs' any more. For the next couple of years, I was told what great an accomplishment it was to be able to quit smoking. I started working for the City of San Diego's Public Library system which encouraged me to give college another try. I went back to community college to earn my Associates Degree, but unlike my first attempt at college, an Associates Degree wasn't going to be the end of my scholastic career. Last May, I earned my AS in Business Administration from San Diego City College (see above). This school year I am taking classes that will admit me to San Diego State University in my quest to earn a Bachelors Degree in Information Systems. My friend Scot has been an inspiration for that; My new found self esteem gives me the need to constantly challenge myself. I believe that it really is true, you can do what ever you want to, no matter how old (you think) you are! Never stop learning!
