What is your current occupation? Do you enjoy it?
I currently have 2 jobs right now...Senior Quality Engineer (fancy name for a pee-on) and internet tech support. I enjoy the second--for now. The first has worn thin on me and I'm ready for something else. So if you know anyone who is looking to hire an electrical engineer with 7 years experience in the quality arena, let me know. PLEASE???

What is your educational background? Are you currently in school?
Graduated top 10% in high school and got by in college while working my a$$ off (to pay bills, not for grades) for 10 years to get my BS in EE. It did help me get a good (paying) job. I'd like to go back to school and get a CS/IT degree eventually....maybe someday.

Do you have any vices (smoking/drinking/etc)? Describe:
I do smoke, although I'm trying to cut back. Didn't start until my ex started pulling a bunch of crap during our divorce. Typical, I guess. I'm a social drinker but I don't drink to get hammered...that was reserved for high school and the early college years.

My father was a great influence on me and provided me with a great work ethic--never give up.

Describe your most "humbling" moment:
I was in the hospital March 2007 with double-pneumonia and ended up on a respirator and my girlfriend came in to see me. I thought I was going to die at the time and didn't really want her to see me in the condition I was in. But seeing her gave me the will to fight to live and I was out of the hospital 2 days later. Like I've said, she's an amazing woman.
|
Do you have favorite type of music? Favorite bands or singers?
I like most everything but gangsta rap...can't stand that heavy beat that drowns out the words and don't care to hear about killing cops, pimping women, or smacking a woman around. Think it's plain stupid. I like Linkin' Park's new album and Daughtry.
|
What type of films do you enjoy? Please give some examples:
I'm not into the sappy romance movies unless it benefits me in some way (hint...hint...). Love comedies, action/adventure, and starting to like horror movies.
|
Do you enjoy television? Which programs?
I haven't watched TV much since late January...too much going on in my life. I'm out of the house from 7AM till 12AM. By the time I get home and eat dinner, it's time for bed and all too soon it's morning and time to start all over.
|
Do you like to read? If so, what books have you enjoyed recently?
If I start reading, I fall asleep. So, needless to say, I don't read much.
|
Do you follow sports? Which teams are you interested in?
I love basketball...especially following the Spurs. Great bunch of guys, never get into trouble with the law and have been at the top of their profession for many years. I sort of follow football but not really.
|
Do you have any hobbies or other interests? Describe:
I enjoy golf, fishing, football, basketball, badminton volleyball, softball, etc. I'll play most any sport just for the fun of it.
|
Where are your favorite places? Where would you like to go most?
I would love to spend more time at Big Bend National Park. It's a really pretty place if you love the outdoors and mountains. There are a lot of state parks in the area that are really nice places to visit, too.
