Lets see if I can keep my menace to a minimum..

A Libra born in "the year of the dog" according to the Chinese lunar calendar. I, however was never one to look to the cosmos or country-backwood theories to define my character traits or excuse my own personal inconsistencies.

As the last of the "generation x" kids. I was born on an army base in western Missouri to goodly parents who love the lord. My father finished up his term when I was 4 years old & moved us to California. Growing up in Santa Barbara County, I guess you could say I had your typical California experience, except that I ended up a Republican. I guess now I would consider myself a Libertarian or Anarchist.

I've been producing homemade movies and editing video since I was old enough carry a camcorder. Competition was always a big part of my childhood & adolescence. I played every sport, year round with my buddies. Barry Sanders was my sports hero & I loved to make highlight reels of him & myself. I started with connecting two VCR's and then began linear editing in H.S. This lead to a position at the local news station editing the nightly news.

Later I was introduced to winemaking working as a cellar rat for Fess Parker Winery. The wine industry is huge in Central California. I enjoyed it as a hobby more than a profession although it still remains a part of my current & future entrepreneurial plans.

My newest hobby is competing in amateur boxing. I started about 6 years ago & fell in love with it. I spend most of my free time at the gym training & helping out with the kids. We have hourly youth & adult classes M-F, & put on local amateur boxing shows every three months for all ages.
