Mr.Elgie

I am here for Friends

About Me

I was an 8th grade history teacher, and most recently was the computer guy at a private Christian school in Houston where part of my job was keeping MySpace blocked! LOL Now I'm Director of Support for a Managed Services Provider (another way to say computer guy)
I have a 5 year old boy, Jack (who is playing his GBA at the moment) a 4 year old girl, Helen (who is helping mom bake cookies) and a new boy Henry born in August
(and I used Myspace Editor)
