About Me

I grew up living a kind of small town life. Although my town wasn't what most people consider "Small Town", It WAS a place where you could go just about anywhere: The local Drug Store(Pharmacy), The Grocery Store, or the Neighborhood Donut Shop and just about anyone you talked to was either family or a close family friend and EVERYONE knew EVERYONE. That Town was the independent city of Westwego (Pronounced "West - We - Go"), Louisiana which is located just Southwest across the Mississippi River from Downtown New Orleans (About a 25 minute drive into New Orleans in good traffic).When I graduated High School (L.W. Higgins High School) in 1992, I left that small town life for US Navy Bootcamp in Great Lakes, IL. Spent a Couple of years there for Bootcamp and school.In 1994 I got Stationed aboard the USS Yellowstone AD-41 In Norfolk, Va. When she decommissioned in early 1996, I then was stationed aboard the USS Guam LPH-9 for the remainder of my short Naval Career, which ended in 1997 (the year my wife and I were married).From 1997 till 2000, I had numerous jobs from Roofing Crew Ground Man to Cabinetmaker Apprentice, to Home improvement work. In 1998, I decided to go to ECPI College of Technology to earn an Associates Degree in Telecommunications Technology.I've been married for 10 years to Wife, Candi. We have 2 children - boys - Jaime(11) and Jesse(8).
