Joe's Story
Life
Been a while since I have updated this thing.. Life currently finds me in Palo Alto, CA, 30 miles south of San Fran. I am working at Stanford Medical Center until September when I will join the staff at the newly opening Lucille Packard Children's Hospital.
I ran the SF Marathon in 2007 and finished - not bad for a fat guy, eh?
JCBCST at aol is me ;)
I've been on 2 medical missions in El Salvador and will be going to Ecuador in July
College
After JHS, I went to Winona State University in Winona, MN. I was pretty active at WSU - a change from my JHS days. I was on Student Council for a while, Housing Council, and UPAC - the University Programming Activities Commitee. We were responsible for all of the entertainment on campus. I was head of the events commitee, and President of UPAC my 2nd year. In that time, I signed contracts for engagements with Cheap Trick, The Amazing Johnathon, Margaret Cho, Second City Comedy troupe, Greg Brady (can't remember his real name), and various interactive activities and coffee house bands.
I got to meet all of those people, and got to chauffer Margaret...Expand for more
Cho around, eat dinner and breakfast with her, etc.. well.. not that kind of etc, but still fun.
I transferred to UI in the winter of 95. I was a Cambus driver and marched with the Hawkeye Marching Band in 95 traveling to Chicago a couple times, and the SUN BOWL. GO HAWKS
After UI decided I needed to take some time to rethink my academic goals..... I "transferred" to Kirkwood where I got a diploma in Surgical Technology. I am now taking the 2 remaining classes to get an A.S. in ST, and will probably pursue a career in nursing / nurse anesthesia at some point in my life.
Workplace
Hmm At Graduation, I was a waiter at Bakers Square... In college in MN, I did that a little, when I transferred to UI, I was a McManager at Sycamore Mall.. Upon graduation from KIRKWOOD - I know.. UI to Kirkwood??? - I worked in Albert Lea, MN for a while, then to Iowa Methodist for a while. Then I started 'traveling' as a Surgical Tech. I have been to Orlando, Boston, Ottumwa, Vegas, DSM, Boston, Miami, DSM, Jackson Hole WY, DSM, Boston, and now back to DSM, then back to Boston :) trend? I blame the RedSox.
