How does someone describe his or her life in just a few short paragraphs?
I was born at 12:01 A.M. on June 2, 1981 in Duluth, Minnesota. We lived in off-base housing of the Duluth International Airport Air Force Base right off the coast of Lake Superior. Two months later, the government decided to close the Air Force base, and thus we drove down to Montgomery, Alabama where we lived for 3.5 years (and where my brother was born on June 22, 1983). In December of 1984, my dad was offered a job in Queens, so we drove up to Hollis, Queens where we stayed for seven months until we finally moved to East Meadow, NY.
The only other place I lived was Ithaca, NY when I attended Cornell University. I graduated in 2003 with a BS in Applied Economics and Management, not exactly knowing what I wanted in life. After a few months of job searching I took a job as a Research Analyst for a television representative. Basically, I dealt with A.C. Nielsen TV ratings, which was cool for the first couple of months and then got highly repetitive and mundane. After working there a little over a year, my friend recommended me for an IT job 15 minutes from my house. All of my computer knowledge was self-taught, but I guess I fooled them enough, as I've been working there as the IT Systems Administrator since October 2005. In May 2007, I became a Review Editor for a computer/tech site called OverclockersClub.com.
I don't think I can ever fully describe myself in such a small amount of space. I consider myself an amalgam of several things. That's right, I said amalgam! You can thank Everybody Loves Raymond for teaching me that word years ago. Yeah, I watch a lot of TV; sitcoms, dramas, the occasional reality show, and of course sports. When I'm not watching TV, I enjoy hanging out with friends, going bowling or playing various other sports, going to the movies, or playing computer games. I'm pretty well-rounded. I don't excel in any one particular thing, but I'm above-average in almost everything I do.
