About Me

Most people who meet me are surprised at my background and at my age. Firstly I grew up in a tiny little town called Hope, Alaska. It has a population, then & now, of about 150 people year around. When I became of school age the school had been closed down for many years and my parents were the driving force which got the school reopened. I didn't go to a traditional school until second grade, before then it was 'Home schooled'. In Hope I littleraly went to a 'one room, red school house'. I had the same teacher day in and day out and for the first couple of years we had a total of 8 students ranging from grades K-10. If you wanted to continue your edumakshun past your sophmore year you had to either go on corespondence (home school) or board with a family and attend another school. I did the later of the two.
I graduated high school in Soldotna and from there went to AVTEC vocational school the following year to graduate as a cook. AVTEC is where I meet my ex-wife. We had two kids and our relationship ended 8 years after. At the time I lived in Ninilchik where I was employed by the Ninilchik Traditional Council as a BIAC Programs Manager. Living there and being divorced gave me a lot of free time. My entertainment when I lived there was skiing, hiking and biking. At one time I would ski 12 miles every day, during that time I was such good shape people would ask if I was on something when I'd go out dancing.
This brings me to the gay thing, yes I knew, but what I knew of someone who was gay was what I watched on T.V. which was usually the butt end of a joke and lisped heavinly. Since I never thought I was the butt end of a joke and lisping isn't my thang I didn't associate myself as gay. It wasn't untill after my divorce that I felt the strength to explore my desires and needs.
My employment has been diverse over the yearse and I think that I've found something that I can sink my teeth into. I currently am a Licensed Skin Care Therapist (Esthetician) and work at LA Style & Spa and I am co-owner of a new salon called "Preview". Since my graduation at Esthetics school I opened the salon in just over a year of my graduation. It has become my obsession and I'm almost always working on some sort of marketing, brochure, mailing, website, etc. I really enjoy what I do.
This should be required watching of all guyz. Enjoy, maybe you'll get a new technique, I did.

My Interests

My kids, Esthetics (skin care), computers (Apple computers to be exact), website building, building my business. Very interested in super fuel efficient cars, clean technology, environmental climate change/solutions. Have been following with more and more interest local and national politics.

I'd like to meet:

Low drama people!!! I have enough in my life without inviting other people's drama in, so if you got it...take it somewhere else.

People with pictures....if you ask to be my friend and you don't have a picture you will be automatically 'marked as spam'.

There are some old friends and school mates that I'd like to meet and catch up with. I've had this desire to catch up with my old teacher, Mrs. Strong (now I think she's Mrs. Vinutei). I've been wondering what happened to my friend Jake, we spent the summer of 1988 attached at the hip.

Music:

Jazz, House, New Age, Pop, Torchsongs, Classical, Bluegrass, World, Irish/Celtic ......a very wide variety

Movies:

300, Diary of a Mad Black Woman, Twin Towers, Star Wars, The Last Mimzy and anything to do with Sci-fi, Aliens that want to suck your brains out and action movies.

Television:

Yes I own one....more into computers than watching T.V. However I'm a fan of Desparate Housewives and becoming one very quickly of the new series HEROS. I also find that I'm addicted to the YouTube. The content is sometimes amazing.

Books:

I own more than one. I even have a Bible....but my fingers caught on fire last time I picked it up....hey, anyone got a pair of tongs????

Heroes:

I'd have to start with my parents who somehow made me who I am from that little shit I was as a kid. From there I'd have to say Thomas Edison for making so many errors, for all those errors came some of the most life changing technological success ever. And I'm sure to think of more at a later time.
