John's Story
Life
After brief stints in the U.S. Army Airborne Infantry (4 yrs.), construction sales (5 yrs.), and nightclub management (4 yrs.), I decided to start over once again. I began working on my bachelorÂs degree at the age of 31, but have no regrets for waiting so long to get started. I graduated from UNLV, Summa Cum Laude (top 1% of my class) with a B.A. in Departmental Honors Economics and minors in philosophy and business law. I am currently enrolled at UNLV as a graduate student in a joint degree program (JD/MBA), but I am still not sure what I want to be when I grow up. IÂve been married for almost a decade, but still no children--maybe in a couple more years. I really enjoy living in Las Vegas, a city that matches my personality. I also enjoy an eclectic variety of outdoor recreation (e.g. kayaking, hiking, camping, snowboarding, repelling, and almost any traditional sport [flag-football, basketball, volleyball, softball, tennis, racquetball, golf, etc.]). Oh well, blah, blah, blah...
