After graduation I worked a few restaurant jobs until April of 1991 when I joined the Air Force and spent 8 years in as a Satellite Communications Operator with expectation of working for NASA as the job I had was a stepping stone. Spent various tours overseas and 3 tours in Saudi Arabia during Desert Storm and Desert Shield. I got married to my wife Lori in June 1997 and got out of the military in 1999 after my wife decided she did not want to move to DC for me new tour in White House Communications which I can't say as I blame her since I would be gone ¾ of the year. My first job away from the military was Union Pacific working in their network department but after being their shortly I decided the Union life was not for me. I was hired shortly after by the Network Engineering Department at First Data Resources in Nov of 1999 and worked there as a Network Engineer until Jan of 2008. I was hired on as the Lead Network Engineer of the First National Bank and currently working there. I have 3 children, Cody (8), Kyle (7), and Macie (5). I still do the music thing as I played guitar in a couple different bands but as I found out I was too old for Rock and borderline metal. Played a few venues and played Riverfest in Bellevue one year and called it quits on music pretty much the next day and we disbanded. I recently took the Bon Jovi approach and went Country trying out for a borderline County band and getting accepted. We are going in the studio around June to record an album with expectations of making it, as they all do. As far as education goes I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Management with a 4.0. Started my Masters but ended up getting to busy to finish and I was getting sick of 8 years of studying and all that already. Pretty much this sums it up. Added a picture of our kids Cody, Kyle and Macie.
