I then branched off into the customs brokerage field, staying with that for a few years. Another career change allowed me to transfer to Vancouver BC with the company I was with. Many jobs followed, all within the cargo industry but then a change of events (Sept 11, 2001) forced my hand to seek other means of employment.

Last year was a very busy year for me. I was married in July to a wonderful man I met a year ago in Vancouver. We had a small ceremony in Vancouver on the rooftop of our condo building overlooking English Bay. We had our reception in Las Vegas in October with about 30 of our closet friends and family attending. Five days of craziness you can only find in Vegas. It was great and very memorable. In December, we flew to Dublin Ireland to visit friends for a couple of weeks. Had another memorable trip. If you want to check our our webpage please contact me.
