Presenting Me: |

| I will try to sum up my past decade and a few years of existence in a concise coaster related paragraph. The first time I knew that I was truly a roller coaster enthusiast was during the summer of 1997. Prior to this, I had enjoyed roller coasters, but not as much as I would in the distant future. My family and I were on vacation in Orlando, and after a week of the huge mega-parks I found that I still wanted to ride more coasters. I forced my family to stop at Old Town in Kissimmee on the way to the airport just to ride the Zamperla Windstorm and feed my coaster craving for a few hours. Since this point in my life, every vacation that I have been on has been planed with the intention of going to some amusement park. In addition to traveling to many parks to feed my fix, I joined ACE in the winter of 2001 and have been a happy, but not very active member since. As if this all wasn't enough, I am currently employed at Six Flags St. Louis. You can find me most days (if I am working) at the Mine Train. Although it is not a big coaster, I still enjoy working on the oldest ride in the park. The manual lap bars are a hoot too! Other than what I have said above, I live in the midwest (gag) and I enjoy hanging around my huge posse of friends. When I am not coastering, I am probably drag racing at Gateway Int'l (which is an an equally thrilling hobby). I think that is about all. Other than that, I would like to thank the academy (lol) and happy coastering! |
