About Me

I am a recent graduate of the University of Washington – Bothell (June 15, 2008) with a degree in Business Administration and a concentration in Management Information Systems. Shortly after graduation I will be starting my full-time job with Siemens IT Solutions and Services. My job will be consulting for Microsoft?s Xbox Operations Center as an Operations Engineer. My job duties will include monitoring the Xbox Live service and website, the Zune Market Place, and other related services.

I am currently living in North Seattle, where I have been living for almost four years. Before that I lived in the Tri-Cities area, located in southeast Washington State. Even though I was born and raised in southeastern Washington, I prefer the city life of Seattle over the country life of the Tri-Cities. I like being in the center of the action. Soon I hope to be moving farther north, due to housing prices in Seattle, into a townhouse of my own.

Hobbies, I have too many to count and is probably good for me, but I need to spend my new found money on something productive. I am a Range Officer at the Rose Iris range, part of the Tri-Cities Shooting Association facility. I like to shot my Bushmaster AR-15 .223 at the long range targets (250+ yards) and use both my Bushmaster AR-15 .223 and my Springfield Armory XD-40 in the tactical pistol bays. It is a fun, but expense hobby. I have also been riding motorcycles for a little over a year now. I currently ride an 88 Honda Shadow 800cc motorcycle.

I am also an entrepreneur. Currently, I am working on starting up my own consulting company to offer computer and networking services. Also I am working with a group of fellow car enthusiasts to start up a non-profit car club. It is open to anyone and everyone with a small to mid-size GM car located in the Pacific Northwest and called Northwest General Motors Enthusiasts.

Well, I think that is enough for now. Please check back often for updates about me and new blog post!
