I was born on May 4, 1973 in York, Pennsylvania. I was raised in the York area and moved to the Poconos, PA in 1985 at 12 years old. I played trumpet in high school and many music idols, some of who I played with are Clark Terry, Phil Woods, Al Cohn, Al Jarreau, and Urbie Green (whose boys, Casey and Jesse Green went to high school with me). Throughout high school I had many hobbies including running a BBS, playing tennis, and basketball.
After high school, I joined the United States Army on Halloween morning, 1991. I served at Ft. Bliss, and have been to Ft. Irwin, and Kuwait (Gulf War). I was a 19D Cavalry Scout. I served in K Troop 3/3 ACR for my entire enlistment. I was honorably discharged from the Army in 1994, serving my 3 years and was a Specialist at that time.
I eventually went into a career as a PC Technician and supported many schools and businesses in the Eastern Pennsylvania area. I burnt out fairly quickly and went into Technical Writing and have been doing this for 10 years in the NYC area.
I'm also a follower of the Atkins Nutritional Approach and run the site Atkins All The Way to provide support for Atkins dieters. It is a wonderful community and full of great people that I care about.
I moved to Appleton, Wisconsin last May and live with my girlfriend and her kids. At this time, I work from home for the same company I was working at when I left NYC.
I'm an avid Oakland Raiders fan too, hence my User Page Theme. I'm also a Volleyball Player and Coach of USA Volleyball girl's club and boy's high school varsity and the creator of The WikiProject for Volleyball.
