Occupation after you finished H.S. or College? I’ve had a bunch of them… Worked at USNA until I was 21… Managed a RadioShack up in Williamsport, PA… Worked for MindSpring for several years…

Occupation now? Software Support

Favorite Teacher? (what class did they teach) That’s a tough call… I thoroughly enjoyed Mrs. Knowles math classes – and I had a ball doing nothing in AP Physics, much to the dismay of Coach Meyers.

Name a few 90's Fads that you remember fondly? None I can think of…

Favorite Song in H.S.? In high school….. Good question… It’d be country – but nothing comes to mind…

Favorite Band and Type of Music in H.S.? Country – Garth Brooks and Reba

Favorite Song or style of music now? Right now favorite songs are George Strait, You’ll be there, and Arlington, by Trace Adkins. God Bless our Troops.

Activities involved in at H.S.? Auditorium manager, office aide, master of getting out of classes, and boy did that piss Fred Flintstone (Mr. Smith, now retired) off.

Activities involved in now? Traveling the East Coast… Went to Pigeon Forge, TN for a wedding in May, and to the Outer Banks for the first time in June. Note to y’all – buy fresh sunscreen when you get there – apparently mine was expired and I had some hellish sun poisoning.

Last Book Read? I haven’t been reading much lately, I’ve been so busy trying to find a job.

Last Movie Seen? Meet the Fockers, I think – order movies from dishnetwork once a week usually.

Are you still in touch with any of your friends from H.S., of so, who? Lots and lots of people.

Fondest Memory in H.S. Probably sitting in the corner with Jake Vandevort and Dave Attenberger sitting there drinking Jim Beam and Cherry Coke and never getting caught!

Worst Memory in H.S. Losing classmates to auto accidents.

Did your life shape up 10 years after H.S. where you'd though you'd be? Well, I didn’t have a 10 year plan – so sitting here on my couch in Atlanta, isn’t all that bad at all.

Brief description of what and where you have been since H.S. Well – there isn’t anyway to make this brief… So here we go… Lived in AA County until Jun 98. Then I moved up to Williamsport, Lycoming County, PA. Got a job as an assistant manager of a RadioShack… They then moved me to southern PA to help open a new store in Hanover… Was there 4 months, then shipped back to Williamsport to manage a store that was months from closing – no one came into it due to its lousy location… Move down to York County – Dallastown, manage a Mail Boxes Etc… After a couple of months of that I’d had enough and left… Then I got the job with MindSpring, stayed there over 3 years and got transferred to Georgia. Left there due to corporate downsizing… Did a couple of odd jobs… Substitute teacher, and also worked full time as a Special Needs Assistant at Arundel Middle. Lots of fun there… Did a year in a call center with MBNA down here in Kennesaw, and then moved to the Eastern Shore to help open and manage the new Greene Turtle. In April, I was told I was no longer needed, and so I’ve been job hunting…
