Life
Looking back upon the last twenty two years since high school so much has happened and I have grown in many ways. I did the typical go directly to college after graduation and study an employable field: teaching. I experienced many things I was too shy for during HS and found many friends. Only, after graduating was I not able to find a FT job in my teaching profession for more than five years.

My passion outside of work is rescuing asian dogs; primarily the Japanese shiba inu. The shiba inu (small dog) is like a minature akita, but with the same punch and looks a lot like a fox (shibarescue.org). Presently I own two and foster one to ready them for adoption by new owners. I am interested in pilates, movies/ true crime, web surfing, and contemporary X music.

I married my friend & lover John in June '09 and we live each day's adventures together.
