John's Story

Life I've been trying to take it as easy as possible since high school. Bought a house in St Francis in the spring of 2001 which is where I currently reside. Not too big but in a decent area and a 3 car garage which is space for the toys. For those of you that remember me from high school I am still into the cars. Bought a 2003 Mustang GT while I was out visiting my family in Indiana for the Indy 500 in 2003. Started the restoration of a 1966 Chevy II in the spring of 2005. Should be finished this year. Nice little car, plenty fast with a healthy 327. Also looking to start on a 30's something Ford or Chev. Would like to have a little something from each era. Haven't done much in the travel department. Have been to Florida a few times, Texas a couple times, Mexico twice (once to Mazatlan and once to Acapulco), and lived on an island off the coast of Alabama for 2 years. Nice to be able to walk outside your house and go for a walk on a white sandy beach. Also took two business trips out to the wine country just north of San Francisco and a little west of Napa. Absolutely beautiful area, especially closer to the coast. Would like to get to the Florida keys and a couple other "warm" destinations, but all in good time. And yes...I do need to get to Vegas eventually as well. 2 dogs...a Labradoodle and a Yorkie and I am engaged to a wo...Expand for more
man I have been dating for about 5 years. Would like to hear from some of the old friends that I haven't seen or spoke to in years. School Not much to say about school other than I put forth just enough effort to graduate. Had a lot of friends, but other than that I didn't really care for it. Would like to hear from some of those old friends. Workplace Not much to say about work. I have had a fair number of jobs since high school, but my "career" didn't really start until the spring of 1998. How's that for screwing around, my first "real" job came almost 10 years after high school. In 1998 I went to work for Shared Resource Management in Shoreview as a Software Consultant. Essentially I was a software developer/programmer. I have been doing it ever since. Moved to Alabama in Dec 2006 for a job with a inmate telecom company and moved back into the house in St Francis in Jan 2009 while still working for the same company as an independent contractor. It is nice to work at home. I also decided that I wanted to become a salesman so I acquired my real estate license in the spring of 2001. This has been less than a success, but was alright as a part time profession. All in all everything has been going better than I had anticipated, but we'll see what the future brings. Hopefully more success (and a winning lottery ticket couldn't hurt).
