About Me
I am a graduate of Southern Illinois University in the Information Systems Technology program. Currently I am the IS Manager for a local bank and I own a computer services business by myself, which my cousin and I started when I was 18.I’m a member of the Southern Illinois Gaming Organization (SIGO). We hold LAN parties, generally at my house, about once a month.
I am an instrument rated private pilot based in Marion, Illinois (KMWA) and can often be found flying my 1975 Piper Cherokee SIX 300. I earned my license on July 25, 2007, following in my father’s footsteps, and became instrument rated on June 1, 2010.
I would imagine that my close friends would describe me as opinionated, because I seem to have a reasonably firm standpoint on everything (as if you didn’t notice).
I am married to a wonderful woman — thanks to Drew for initiating that one.
It takes two people to make a friendship, if you’re not willing to give as much as you’d like to receive from that friendship, you are not supporting your half. One person can only carry a friendship/relationship so far and then he/she will break under the pressure. Remind your loved ones that you love them, and never wake up angry…life is too short to waste it on trying to be angry at people. Being happy and going with the flow is so much easier.
If you’re a parent, please have enough common sense to raise your child the right way. All the abductions that are populating the news and are being blamed on MySpace, parent’s fault….period. Educate your child, he/she will listen, even if he/she doesn’t act like it. It’s YOUR job to see they get educated, not public schools, not the governments, not even Brittany Spears…YOU. It’s hard work, you asked for it, now quit griping.
