bio

I was borne Dec 24th, 1979 in Chicago, Ill. Yeah, I'm a Christmas baby. Think that's bad enough, try this....my dad's a minister. Needless to say Christmas isn't my favorite holiday. But now that ya'll know my birthday I expect cards.....

When I was still a babe my family moved to Iowa. I lived there til I was 6, in Grimes and Washington. Don't remeber much from then, except pissing my mom off by pulling he spare matteress out from my bed and jumping off the top bunk. That and my cubbie hole under the attic stairs.

Well, like I said we moved when I was 6 to Michigan. That's basically where I grew up. In Rankin, just south of Flint. My dad was minister of Mundy Presbyterian Church there. I started school at Rankin Elementary just down the road from my house. My first grade teacher was Mrs. McInnis. That was the year I had my first girlfriend, Heather McLeod. But as things often do in young relatinships, things went south when her parents moved her to a parocial school, never mind the fact she lived across the street from my best friend, Nate Guigear. I think I blocked out second grade, cause I don't even remember my teachers name. All I remember is she accused me of stealing a game.....

Starting in third grade I went to Randels Elementary for the gifted program. My best memories are of my fifth/sixth grade teacher, Ms. Kathy Muench. She became a second mom for me, and still stays in touch. Whenever anything important happens in my life, I get a new girlfriend, or just need to talk she's always around to listen.

I graduated from Carman-Ainsworth High School in 1998. I made lots of good friends there, but sadly have lost contact with all but a few. Nate ended up going into the Corps. I woulda gone with him, but didn't have the balls. So I decided to go to college instead.

I spent a year at Western Michigan U as a Public History major, and had a blast. Probably too much fun, I was on academic probation after my first semester. When my parents moved to Wisconsin at the end of that year I transferred to Carroll College (Waukesha, Wisc) as a Secondary Education/History major. Didn't do too good there either, was academically suspended. Oh well live and learn.

I enlisted in the Wisconsin Army National Guard, B Btry 1-126 FA out of Oak Creek, in Feb 2001. Went through basic training at Ft Sill from August-November in 1st Platoon (Vipers), B Btry, 1-40 FA. I'm transfering to Active Duty right now, and going to Germany.

Well sorry this was so boring, but that's what you get for reading a bio, eh?
