About My Self

I was born on July 23 1981 in Rexdale, Ontario and we lived in Malton for five years of my life. When I was young my family and I used to go to Ottawa to visit my grandparents and uncle who at that time my grandparents lived there. When I was five we moved to White Rock and ever since we lived here. We have been living here for 11 years and I like it much better out here, because I've visited Toronto since we moved here 11 years ago. When I was five, I went to Ray Shepherd for Kindergarten till grade seven. When I was in grade seven and it was the day that I was going to Semiahmoo Secondary for the grade seven tour of Semi, I was hit by a car while I was riding my bike to Semi and I got a new bike because the frame of the bike was bent and it would of been more expensive to fix it than to buy a new bike. It was the person who hit me that bought me the new bike. In grade eight I went to Toronto often, most of those days that I went to Toronto was to go to a store called Aviation World and to fly. I like to fly allot because I think it is fun. I still go to Ottawa to visit my uncle because he still lives there. That's a little bit of my childhood. But to really get to know me, I need to tell you about airplanes and trains.

My first flight was a DC-8 on Air Canada. I was two weeks old to Ottawa and they decided to take me with them. I�ve been on every aircraft Air Canada since I was born.

I've also been on CP Air (Canadian Airlines) and even Canadian Airlines as it is now.

Every year since my dad found out about the Royal Hudson my dad, my sister and me went on it. The Royal Hudson makes an excertion between North Vancouver and Squamish during the summer. It makes the trip everyday except Mondays and Tuesdays. We have also been on the 3716 which is the back up fort the 2860, that was the year my mom stopped going with us. I've even been on the 6060, which is also a steam engine in Alberta, but I've only been on it once and it was only on a short part of track which it went back and forth on. That was the year after the 2860 and 6060 did the double header between Vancouver and Edmonton but only was able to make it to Jasper, Alberta. In 1994, BC Rail put on a double header between Vancouver and Squamish, but that was when the 3716 had just got out of re-fit and wasn't broken in, so it had to be taken of the train half way back to Vancouver. On April 13, 1997 the Royal Hudson came to White Rock to celabrate its 40th Anaversary, it came to White Rock for the first time in 20 years. The 2860 was the first steam engine to be built a Royal Hudson.

I've been on another steam engine which is named the Prarie Dog Central and its number is 3. It is still running in Winnipeg, Manitoba. We were on the second coach from the engine but if we were on the coach directly behind the engine we would of went with the engine when it turned around on a "Y" in the track. That is all I have to tell you about Airplanes and trains. My other interest is in Air Cadets.

Around Christmas '95 I joined Air Cadets because I like flying. This year I joined the Air Cadet Band because I play the Alto Sax and I like to play military music. I have now quit Air Cadets.

In the summer of 1996, I went to California with my Air Cadets. It was fun and we went to Reno on the way down and all of the Air Cadets played at the Midway. We than went to Fallan Naval Air Station. At that time went to San Diego and went to the San Diego Zoo and Sea World. After we went to Sea World we drove up to Anaheim, and went to Disneyland for four days. After four days we drove up to Six Flags which in my opinion is much better than Disneyland. In Six Flags I went on many rollercoasters and the largest double track wooden rollercoaster in the world which if you compared it to the Coaster at the P.N.E. the Coaster would fit into the smallest corner of it, the rollercoaster I've forgotten the name though. There is one ride named Viper which has five loops in it and it also has two corkscrews in it. After one more night in a hotel we left for Vancouver and we were dropped of at the weighing station at the Truck stop. I quit Air Cadets the next year. I've also travelled to different countries, but mostly the U.S.

I've been to the Kennedy Space Center in December 1995. The same year I went to Walt Disney World Resort. I had fun at Epcot Center and Magicland (I think its named that) In Disney World.

In December of 1996 I went to Hawaii. In Hawaii we went to the Arizona Memorial, where we went on a Bowfin class submarine which fought in World War 2. We also went to a bay which you could swim with the fish. The rest of the time we staied on the beach. We ate at a buffet style restaurant for supper and different places for lunch. That's the travelling I've done in the last 2 years.

1997 is the last year of Concert Band for me because I want to take the Tourism CO-OP which means I cannot take Band.

It is now 2002 and I have done lots since I last updated this info. I've been to Hawaii 5 more times, and got a job at Save On Foods (1998). I am currently still emploied at Save On Foods where I enjoy working with good friends, you know who you are. I have also completed the Aircraft Mechanic Course at BCIT Sea Island Campus, but not currently emploied in this field. I now collect Aircraft Models.

Now it is 2004 and I am now employed in the industry I love, the airline industry, I work for GLobe Gorund North America were I service aircraft, inlcluding loading/unloading aircraft, serviceing the lavs, and water.

Two of my favorite aircraft are the A340-300 and B767-300ER
