You can contact me at letum <at> yahoo <dot> com Life After Goliad, I went to College Station and spent 4 years at Texas A&M. I switched majors nearly every semester and finally realized that I didn't know what I wanted to do. As a summer job I had become an Emergency Medical Technician and worked for the City of Beeville EMS, and really enjoyed it. So during my senior year at A&M I got my paramedic and from 1992 - 2000 I worked at that for various companies all over south Texas. During this time I met and married my first wife and had two boys. In 2000 I finished nursing school at Victoria College and got my Registered Nurse license. Since then I have been working for the CHRISTUS Spohn Health system in Corpus Christi, usually in the Emergency Room, sometimes in the ICU. Currrently I am at Spohn South Hospital and have just recently switched to the OR. In 2002, I married a fellow nurse, Heather, and we had a little girl (red-headed, as seen in my picture). Between the two of us, we have 6 kids (3 hers, 2 mine, and 1 ours) ranging in ages from 5 years old, to 20 years old. So we have experienced nearly every event possible for those who have kids. We also share the house with 7 dogs (4 outside and 3 inside), 1 cat and 1 ball python. Needless to say, there is rarely a quiet moment at my place.
