Been around a bit, but this is who I am!

I guess I never did this part of the account process.

I am a Database Administrator, though I prefer to do more Analysis. My background started in the US Navy Submarine force where I was a Missile Technician (I'm a son of a son of a sailor. Both my Father and grandfathers were sailors). I went on to work for one of the Largest Ship builders for the US Navy as an Engineering Aide. I obtained my first degree in CS and went on to work for the DOD as a Computer Specialist. I got my second degree also in CS and started looking to the private sector where I started as System Adminstrator and Assistant Engineer at a small ABC TV affiliate. I went on to work in the Internet Business Online Direct Marketing as a Database Analyst in the late 90's early 00's.

I am a big History and political science buff, something I got from my Mother and an Uncle who is an ex USMC Warrant Officer who is now a Poli Sci Profeesor. My two favorite TV channels are The History Channel and The Discovery Channel. Also a big News addict, obtained from working in newsroom long hours, can't get enough.

My grandfather when he got out of the Navy after WWII went on to work oil rigs then to long haul trucking. The time I knew him though he was a pastor for the Church of Christ. He was a big part of my life and in 2001 I was ordained a Minister myself, though I have never led a congregation, unless you consider my family reunions there the people attending number in the hundreds. And they always say I look comfortable up there or that I should run for local political offices.

I am a Democrat, with conservative liberal beliefs. For example I don't believe that abortion is right, but also since the law says it is, I don't believe my beliefs should be forced upon others. My pet peeve is stupidity. Ignorance I can Deny Stupidity is unacceptable.

I am married, my wife is Hispanic, from the Central America region. We raise our two current daughters bilingual and will do so with our third daughter on the way. Yes I am one man among four women, pity accepted but not really necessary.

Well, I think thats about it. Actually after looking it over it says quite a bit about me.
