JOHN's Story
Life
Google the word jbripley and you can find my space on the internet.
I attended many schools during my career in Brandon. I started at King George for Grades 1-3, then transferred to Riverview for the french immersion program. I was there for Grades 4-6 until french immersion was centralized at New Era. I stayed at New Era for Grades 7-9 and then continued on to Neelin High school where I graduated in 1990.
After school I went to Brandon University for 2 years. I quit university in 1992 to pursue a career in partying. I partied pretty hard for the next 6 years during which time I got my Electronics Technician certification from ACC. My party lifestyle led me out to Sidney, BC in 1995. I lived in BC for 6 and a half years. In 1996 I met my future wife Ardis and in 1998 my partying career ended when my first daughter Grace was born.

ty career behind me I needed to find something new to do. In 1999 I took some computer courses in BC and got my Microsoft Certified System Engineer (MCSE) designation. In 2000 our second daughter Paige was born. I took some computer programming courses next, which I finished in Sept. 2001.
In October of 2001 we packed up the house and the kids and moved back to Brandon. Brandon seemed like the better place to raise kids. In 2002 we had our 3rd and final child and, you guessed it, it was another girl who we named Ashley.
Upon arriving in Brandon I started working as a Network Support Specialist for a local company. I did this for a year and a half before switching to my present job as a Network Administrator\Database and Web Programmer\DSL Installer. That brings me to the present. I guess I will have to add more when more things happen. Till then. BAH!
