My Life

I was born on October 31, 1969 in Houston, Texas. My family moved to the southeast Texas Big Thicket town of Wildwood when I was 7. I graduated from Warren High School in 1988 and went to Panola College in Carthage, Tx on a band scholarship. After three years there, I moved to Maryland, where my parents had moved several years earlier and took art courses at the University of Maryland. I decided to manage a restaurant in a country club and got to perform with the likes of Neal McCoy and Confederate Railroad.

After 3 years there, I moved out to Michigan for a few cold winter months with friends. We all moved back to Maryland later that spring. I spent a lot of my time working with the Boy Scouts as a program director, overseeing the events and campouts. I did this with my father for quite a few years. We both loved the outdoors and the Scouting Program. In 1997, I went back to school and studied Computers. Later that year, my father passed away and my mother moved back to Texas. I stayed there and got a degree in Computer Technology. I did a few corporate jobs as a technician and finally went into business for myself repairing and upgrading computers. I moved up to Minnesota for a few months with another friend, but came back to Maryland after things didn't work out. I welcomed in the New Millenium with friends, assuring them that the Y2K bug wasn't going to affect them. In 2001, I took over as assistant manager of the White House Motel and Bar in Newburg, Maryland. I stayed there for 4 years.
