Me at 2 years old.

I was born on May 23, 1979, at St. Joseph Hospital in Reading, PA.  I grew up in Muhlenberg Township and, therefore, went to the Muhlenberg School District. 

In school, I was always a part of anything music related that I could be part of.  This included my school's spring musicals and chorus from fourth grade up until my graduation.  It was during a chorus concert for the school for which most people will probably most remember me.  In my 9th grade year, I gave the student body the added pleasure of watching me pass out during our Holiday concert.  In retrospect, it was one of the funniest things I think I've ever done, although, at the time, I was pretty embarrassed.  However, I must have enjoyed the attention paid to me with everyone asking if I was alright, because the following year, I gave an encore.

Following my graduation in 1997, I enrolled at Kutztown University where I majored in Telecommunications.  While I liked the field, I found that college wasn't for me. 

While I knew that college wasn't for me, I knew I wanted to do something more with my life than work a minimum wage job. I eventually came to computers.  I always liked them, but never viewed it as more than a hobby.  I realized that I could make a career in the computer field.  So, I enrolled at Berks Technical Institute (BTI) in their "Network/Internet Professional" program.  I've been attending the school for 15 months and will graduate on April 19 of this year.
