ME: A (not-so) Brief History.
Born in Beverly, MA., but I grew up in Merrimac, MA, a very small town along the MA-NH border; if you blink on the highway, you miss it.
I was extremely shy and withdrawn my whole school career; towards the end I think some of it was social disorder and self inflicted. I could have done better with my grades. I then amazed everyone when I join the Navy and spent the next 5 years serving my country. Lots of crap happened - some good some bad, some that I regret - and then I left. I still wonder if I did the right thing leaving, I could have done more with it. I then went to an art college - to study Graphic Design - in my birth town Beverly, and managed to screw that up somehow. I dropped out. Long story. (noticing a pattern?) Basically got screwed financially, both the school's fault and my own for not taking more responsibility. I worked odd jobs until I got my first printshop gig doing layout and pre-press. I dated off and on, never quite getting it right. Then I met a girl and something seemed to click. We dated fast and soon were living together. She was in college in Boston, but dropped for personal reasons. I got laid-off so we decided to move to her hometown in Ohio, into her father's childhood home. We lived there for about 2 years (WOW). I worked at another printshop, she at a scrapbook place. Somehow - I'm a big moron - in which I almost screwed all that up, too. We've had some rough times and many happy ones. Somehow we pulled it together. Then I lost my job again and we decided to move with her parents to Mobile, Alabama. Where, almost immediately, we experienced several hurricanes.
I again worked odd jobs and then at a printshop until taking a job at a printer manufacturing company in the marketing department. My job is going well, with great prospects and possibilities ahead. I am currently being groomed as a Product Specialist, focusing on knowing as much as I can about all the ins and outs of our products, as well as printing presses and the printing industry as a whole. (yikes) I will also assist dealers and customers alike, as well as attend tradeshows and perform training and demos of our products. I hope I'm up to the task.
We have had many happy times here, but seriously miss the quiet of the north. It's home after-all. I proposed to her July 2005 and we got married on April 14, 2007. She's so sweet and definitely my soulmate, and somehow we work through most things. I love my wife, and it amazes and scares me... you never actually think it will happen, yet you've hoped for so long, and made way more mistakes than you'll admit to yourself. Things are going well and we've recently purchased our first home.

How Much Is Your Life Worth?
About me? Oh, ok. I'm a really a nice guy, or so I'm told. Though I still say stuff that is rude once I think about it, and sometimes it's just truth. I can be very distracted... um, what was I saying? Oh right... I'm very internal and get caught up in my own inner thoughts and get very focused sometimes when working on something (in the Zone). Sometimes I get easily frustrated with things, and that's when I tend to recede back into myself even more... though with age and experience, I have certainly grown since my younger days. Also, that I haven't been using my artistic abilities to even the slightest potential I know I possess. I have become apathetic to this life. I am ready to make a change but am not sure how.
My mind goes on little gallivanting trips of fancy and bewilderment. I like creative thinking, especially when it's matched with humor, and a dash of good ol' "make-ya-think-itude". I made that up. It's all gone todash, nineteen if ya will.
sometimes, late at night, I realize i don't know what I'm doing. then i forget again and it's a surprise the next time it happens. except as soon as you remember, it sux all over again, only harder.
