About Me

I am currently an Air Traffic Controller in Oakland Center. I moved out to the bay area a couple months ago and am still getting used to it. I love the area. Lots of diversity, people, and things to do. Traffic sucks, but where does it not? (except in North Dakota) I have lived in CT, Tampa, North Dakota, Las Vegas, Oklahoma City, and now in California. I am looking to meet people in the bay area and to show me around, although according to Trish, I am her new local travel agent. I have done many things in my life that I would have never imagined doing, and am running out of goals to accomplish. Looking to get into windsurfing, boating, and hang-gliding Hit me up and say hi.

My Interests

Aviation, travelling, and exploring new cultures. I love to go out with friends, dancing, listening to live DJ sets, and having a quiet evening at home. I enjoy cooking and trying new ethnic foods.

Music:

Love dance, house, trance, techno and live DJ's.One of my ALL time favorate songs and videos.

Movies:

Indy flicks seems to be my thing. Not a big mainstream movie fan.

Television:

Ask me this question last year and i could not even tell you what was on television. Vegas and its nightlife were keeping me busy. Now that I am settled and can not stay out at the clubs till 8am, and joining the Tivo world, I enjoy Heros, Jericho, and almost all Nick at Nite shows...minus the Prince of Bel Aire.

Books:

Reading the regulations of Air Traffic Control has been about the only book I have been reading lately.

Heroes:

My parents. I really think they are my heros. They have been through so much in their life, and my brother and I have put them through so much more, but through it all, they have managed to pull through and stick it out together. Heros, mentors and a blessing to me.
