I am a 39 year old father of a 1 year old with a wife that is the most amazing woman I’ve ever met. I grew up with 3 siblings and 2 parents that have shaped my personality and character full of encouragement and at times, a swift kick in the butt.
Growing up I had many interests some of which became passions, and others became hobbies, but I never lost my quest for knowledge and experience. In school I focused on Music and Business where I learned a number of instruments including Trumpet but self taught the piano, guitar, mandolin, bass guitar, and many more. After high school I studied Economics where I always thought it was great to study something that had so many real life applications, but when I was done with school, I helped out a friend with his construction company. While doing construction, I was able to learn many trades like framing, cabinetry, flooring, roofing, and many, many more. Being a heavy set guy, I figured I would likely not be able to retire from that profession (since I already have bad knees) as I would end up disabled, so I looked for something else. My cousin, who was also one of my groomsmen, was putting together a team of IT analysts who could adapt and learn; apparently me with my zero experience was a good fit for the job since I’ve been there 6 years and have learned so much and have proven to be a leader in my area.
I will make some updates to this as time goes by, so check in. 🙂
