Brief description of what and where you have been since H.S. Graduated from USC in 88 and went to Quantico to the Marine Corps Basic School then Engineer School in NC. I was married in 1989 to my college girlfriend and In 1990 we then transferred to Camp Pendleton in CA and I was promptly sent over to Saudi for the first war with IRAQ. Came back in 1991 and stuck around CA for a year and was then sent to Cuba to Guantanamo Bay to be in charge of the minefields. Pulled mines out of the ground and dealt with Haitians in boats for two years and came back to the DC area in 1994. My first child Taylor was born in Cuba in April of 94. I got out of the USMC in 1996 deciding to put down roots for a little while. I went to work for ESRI (Environmental Systems Research Institute) shortly there after and have been with them ever since. I handle defense sales to parts of the DOD and intell community. I moved up to Germantown in 1999 to get away from the construction in Springfield. Second child was cloned in 2001. Work keeps me busy and I get lots of chances for trips out of the country (Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, UAE,UK, and France so far). Most of my time now is spent keeping up the house and kids. I am still into construction, woodworking and landscaping as a hobby. Computers and IT take up my working hours and gadgets take up all salary not spent on food and mortgage.
