Occupation: Currently employed as a control room operator at a local electrical distribution company. I am however, a registered Journeyman Power Lineman by trade.

Hobbies: I love to travel. Last year, I finally got the opportunity to leave North America, stopping in Paris to view the Eiffel Tower and then on to Singapore, for the Chinese New Year and a rendezvous with my Valentine!! Later in the year, my sweetheart and I got reacquainted at Old Saybrook Ct., took in the fall colours at the Gore Mountain, visited Elmira and ended up on the Maid of the Mist at Niagara Falls.

I love golfing too, but unfortunately, I haven't hit the links too often lately. I used to go to Myrtle Beach quite often with my buddies for a golf vacation.

Ohhhhhhhhh I almost forgot!! I love playing spades on the Internet (past 5 years) and I especially have enjoyed the camaraderie here at RM. This is by far the best place I have ever played on the Internet. While I really am looking forward to meeting some of you monsters in Michigan in August, I want to say a special thank you to my dear friend Sis. I met Sis online 5 years ago while playing on Mplayer, moved over to Gamespy together, and finally she dragged me over to RM. Sis has been a great friend through thick and thin----love ya Sis!!
