Well i finally have time to do this, so I will.
Chapter 1. I was born.
The quick synopsis is this. I graduated from PSU in 93. There I studied economics and business for 4 years. After graduating college my first job was working for a landscaper. My first day I dug 200 hole on the side of a rocky mountain in North East Pennsylvania for trees to be planted.
Naturally, after hole number 58, I asked if the ever heard of a back-hoe? I received a silent response. One would think that they would have given me a pair of work gloves, but that luxury never came up. So on hole 200, i tore a blisters off both hands on every finger, and one nearly the size of my palms.
From there I worked as a manager at a Five and Dime store. After 2 years of dealing with the public, I got out. I then took a job as a bearing inspector for quality control This wasn't bad but the guy that was on our two man team would not shut up. So for eight hours of inspecting ball bearing, I listened to an idiot who would give you every detail of how he was thirsty and how he approached the fountain and took a drink. This went on for two week until I asked him if he ever just shut the .... Up.
At this point I moved on to working for a Cryogenics company that made equipment for the Gas & Chemical Industries. I started out in customer service. Three years, and three promotions later I was in charge of Purity Product Production. And no, we do not have Walt Disney.
I am a huge fan of history. I especially enjoy the following periods; Roman History. American Revolution. American Civil War. World War 1. World War 2.
I have done Civil War and World War 2 re-enacting. I still do World War 2 and am one of the member who started the group. The highlight of our Re-Enaction was having been invited by the Commander of the Old Guard to act as Pall Bearers for a World War 2 Veterans funeral at Arlington National Cemetery.
I am an avid reader. I enjoy hiking, hunting, fishing and restoring old classic cars. Lately, I have taken up Gardening and put in a Vegetable Garden in a portion of my yard. How can I forget this - I adore woman. That is another hobbie.
