John's Story
Life
I have lived in Seattle since 1987. I moved here on a whim, for a great adventure. Now I live just 15 minutes north of downtown Seattle. I had a partner for fourteen years. Sadly, he passed away in 2007. Now I live with my dogs: Amy and Sophia; and my cat Maggie. I enjoy golf (though I'm lousy at it) gardening, traveling, digital video, piano, church (yeah, some gay people go to church!) and computers.
I still enjoy theatre and choral music, as well as politics, and taking long weekend trips to the Washington coast -- not to mention traveling to exotic locals, like Hawaii, the Caribbean, Japan, Mexico, and even Canada!
School
I enjoyed much of HS. Other parts, I'd just as soon forget. Overall, you could not pay me to go back and do...Expand for more
it again. Adult life is much better. About six months after graduation from Granite Hills I was living on my own, in my own apartment, with my own car. I escaped suburban life, fleeing to "the big city" and I never looked back. Becoming totally independent from my parents at 18 was the smartest choice I ever made.
College
I did not got to college until 1994. I was 29 years old when I gave up my career in Information Management (aka network admin). I mortgaged my future through student loans. College allowed me to leave the unsatisfying rat race of the business world. I completed my BA at Seattle Univeristy and immediately went on to complete my Masters degree in education. Now I'm an elementary school teacher and I could not be happier.
