Scott's Story
Life
After I graduated I lived in Cedar Rapids for about 5 years, started out working for Linn Photo (which I think of defunct now) from 1990-1993, and then worked for APAC as Senior Network Engineer from 1993 to 96, I then left and moved to Phoenix in early 1996, and have been here ever since. Can not believe I have been gone nearly 14 years now!! I think of Phoenix as my home... been here longer that many locals.
I have worked for great companies such as: Sprint/Nextel, Allied Signal, Honeywell, IBM, Motorola, Lockheed Martin, US Robotics, and am currently the Senior I/T Security Consultant for Banner Health Corportion, one of the largest and most organized non-profit health care providers in the western US.
I have never got married (yet..)
Occasionally I get back to Cedar Rapids, to visit friends and what family I have there. My parents moved to Phoenix in 2001 for their eventual retirment, but went back to Cedar Rapids in early 2006, my Dad works for Clipper Wind.
I am also a pyrotechnician in the state of Arizona (public fireworks displays), I do all types of events (College Games, corporate events, extravogant parties, weddings, fourth of july, new years, city displays, etc..) Where else can I say I get paid to blow things up!!
For free time I am an avid "sand duner" and have been now for about 10 years. I cruise the dunes and other off road areas in a ...Expand for more
long travel Sand Car, powered by a highly modified 600hp Corvette LS6 engine, the car only weighs 2154lbs!!
I tote the Sand Car around in a 2008 Keystone Fuzion 382 5th Wheel, that I tow with my 2007 Dodge Ram 3500 Diesel. Before I downsized the operation because of the economy I owned a 40ft Diesel pusher motorhome, and 24ft enclosed trailer.
I recently sold my second home in Phoenix area to the couple that were renting it from me.
School
Well, I went to Hayes and Grant for Elementary, and then off to Wilson for Junior High. Finally to Jefferson for High School.
Since then I have attended some great schools: Kirkwood, University of Phoenix, American Intercontinental University, and University of Dallas.
Have my 4 year degree (BSIT), and got my Masters of Information Assurance (MSIA) with the University of Dallas, might go for my doctorate, but not sure taking a break from education for now.
College
While I was in CR I went to Kirkwood for a little while but from they could not offer the type of education I sought. In mid 2000 I decided to return to college by attending the University of Phoenix, and did so until 2003, then I changed over to AIU Online to finish my studies which I got my B.S in 2005, and finally my masters degree from University of Dallas in 2007.
I have considered continuing on and getting my PhD, but for now my Masters is good enough.
