I am here for Networking

About Me

Well, it all started in '96. I was out in the world.... just drifting along in college like everyone else, when I realised that I had no idea what I was doing with my life. I was paying ridiculous amounts of money to be bored. It was the Mac and Cheese with out butter or milk( you know, the powder stuff)that made me finally snap. I left college and bounced around to a few jobs here and there. My cousins ( I love you Nick & Kim)and I started a Janitorial company that did really well.( Besides the whole "Gina" thing!)Yet, I still was not happy with my profession. I had a calling if you will. A deep desire to help people. I decided to go to EMT school! Boy what a jackass I was. I shoulda stayed in business! Oh well. Currently I am a Paramedic,and a Certified Emergency Nurse. I work at a Level 1 Trauma center in Michigan in the ER. After I take care of getting my house in order, I will get my BSN, and eventually a Master's. Wish me luck!

My Interests

Between school, work and family...... can sleep be considered an "interest"?..

Music:

All sorts, has to be well written and sound full. A guitar and a drum just don't do it for me.
