Raleigh, North Carolina is my home and a great place to be! (Actually, I live in Apex, a suburb of Raleigh.) Raleigh is part of the Triangle Region of North Carolina. The Research Triangle is comprised of Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill. Research Triangle Park is right in the middle. The Research Triangle boasts more PhD engineers and scientists per capita than anywhere else in the Nation. North Carolina is the most beautiful state I have ever seen, and I have traveled across much of the country. From the peaceful mountains, to the sloping piedmont, to the salty ocean breezes, to the high-tech research triangle area it breathes life into me and whispers opportunity in my ear like no other place I've ever been.

I am a Christian, a firm believer in Jesus Christ and His Divinity, and am an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Also known as the LDS Church or sometimes as the Mormons. I believe that an active member of any Christian church has better guidelines for life than an atheist does. See a picture of the Raleigh, North Carolina Temple.

I am a Patriot of this Great Country and have strong political convictions. You can find out more about those on my Points of Politics page. Get involved with and contribute to your government at the local, state, and federal levels. If you don't, someone who's being paid to will.

I am a Senior Network Engineer for the computer services and sales company Data Networks of America. Working at Data Networks is a blast- very rewarding, and a place where I learn about new things on a daily basis. Data Networks provides services and products to primarily education and government in the Mid-Atlantic region in the Eastern United States. If you're in the area- love all things computers and networks, have good customer skills, and are looking for a challenging job that's very rewarding, send us a resume.

The Lord of the Rings has been my favorite book since I was a child. I have (I'm afraid to admit) read it somewhere in the order of 15-18 times. When I was in Middle and High School I usually read it twice a year. I love the movies that are being released by New Line Cinema. I highly recommend the book to anyone who enjoys fantasy and the fight of good against evil. The Lord of the Rings was the lifelong work of JRR Tolkien, and the basis of modern fantasy.

OK, I admit it. I love games. Computer games, board games, party games, you name it. Some of my favorite computer games are Myth, Unreal Tournament, and CounterStrike. My favorite board games are RISK! and Settlers of Catan. My favorite card game is Bohnanza.

Calvin & Hobbes is my favorite comic series. I have EVERY book about them I could get my hands on. I love them, dearly. Perhaps it is because Calvin and I have so much in common- except that I'm dark haired and six foot three inches tall. I truly hope I someday get to personally thank Bill Watterson for all the joy he has given me- and so many others.

I love eating excellent food- And I sometimes eat out more often than I probably should. Here are a couple of my favorite places to eat. Unfortunately, In-N-Out is located on the West Coast... and I live in North Carolina. Oh well, maybe they'll expand out here. : )

I've driven a Ford since my first car that I owned (a Mustang). They get better every year, and continue to show other domestic and foreign manufacturers how to build cars. They build them more simply, more elegantly, with less labor than anyone else.
