About Me

I was born and raised in San Jose, CA. I'm a graduate of Piedmont Hills High School but went to James Lick High for 2 years. I proudly gave 4 years to my country as I served in the U.S. Navy from 1996-2000 aboard the USS Kitty Hawk(CV-63). After that I graduated from Heald College with a major in Computer Technology. I'm offically back in school studying for a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Engineering. I'm a new member of the National Society of Black Engineers and IEEE organizations. I also joined a group for Black Urban Professionals a.k.a. Buppies. I'm also a "happily married man" to my beautiful wife, Laura. She's the best thing that's ever happened in my life on top of my accomplishments. We have a wonderful relationship and enjoy spending time with one another. Besides spending time with her I like to hang out with friends and when it comes to new things, I try to back away from it but I do it because I don't want the regret of not trying something at least once. I enjoy eating out, watching movies, playing on computers and working with computers. I also enjoy playing video games and whatever it is I'm doing, I like to listen to music. Hard rock is my first choice however I enjoy a good R&B classic and Neo Soul, as well as Hip-Hop, Old School Jazz, Gospel and Reggae. I'm a laid back type of guy who doesn't welcome ignorance, drama, racism or self-centerness into my world. As long as you're good to me I'll be good to you. If you give 100%, I'll give 150% but please don't mistake my kindness for blindness. I'm also a die hard Oakland Raiders fan, and I enjoy evey minute of it. I welcome new friends as well as old friends and engage in good conversation so feel free to stop by anytime!

My Interests

Watching Football, movies, hanging out with friends, concerts, reading short stories and poetry. Computers and video games, too.Being Black in the Work Place AnonymousThey take my kindness for weakness. They take my silence for speechless.They consider my uniqueness strange. They call my language slang.They see my confidence as conceit. They see my mistakes as defeat.They consider my success accidental. They minimize my intelligence as "potential".My questions mean I'm "unaware". My advancement is somehow unfair.Any praise is preferential treatment. To voice concern is discontentment.If I stand up for myself, I'm too defensive. If I don't trust them, I'm too apprehensive.I'm defiant if I separate. Yet I'm fake if I assimilate.So, constantly I am faced with work place hate. My character is constantly under attack.Pride for my race make me "Too Black", Yet I can only be me, and who am I you might ask?I am that Strong Black Person...Who stands on the backs of my ancestor's achievements.With an erect spine pointing to the stars with pride, dignity, and respect. This lets the work place in America know that I not only possess the ability to play by the rules, I can make them as well!
You are He-Man from Masters of the Universe! You
take life very seriously, and you should,
considering you are the keeper of all that is
good and right in the universe! However, your
nonstop suspicion of Skeletor and his henchman
can start your friends wondering why you don't
loosen up once in awhile.

Success

Success is like life, it's what you make of it. If you aim high, you'll fly high in the sky, if you aim low, you'll fall and burn down below.
