We shall overcome.
I was born and raised in Duluth, MN. I went to Central High School here in Duluth. I furthered my education at The College of St. Scholastica where I received a Bachelor of Arts in Biology with a minor in Chemistry and a concentration in Computer Information Systems. I have worked as a first mate in the family's charter fishing business on Lake Superior, as a Chemistry Departmental Assistant at St Scholastica, as a Biologist at the U.S. EPA lab in Duluth, a PC Technician at a couple local firms, and now as a Systems Administrator/Lab Technician at a blown film extrusion facility.
My interests include almost anything outdoors. Some of my most favorite activities include fishing, camping, mountain biking, hunting, scuba diving, roller blading, and 4wheeling. Other hobbies include but are not limited to auto repair and restoration, drawing, graphic design, and model-building. I have raised many types of pets ranging from dogs, fish, and birds. Make sure to visit my pets page! I have a yellow-naped amazon parrot named Tiki. I have 4 aquariums set up right now. Two of them are for common tropical fish such as guppies, platies, and zebra danios. The other two tanks are dedicated to piranhas. I have owned red-bellied piranhas, but now I have an nine inch adult black piranha--one of the most aggressive and unpredictable piranha species known. It will routinely follow someone that walks by the tank, will attack a finger placed near the glass, and will even go after a phone if you hold it by the tank glass!
As for sports, I played pitcher in baseball and goalie in hockey. Some say I have been hit in the head too many times by the puck, but that's okay!
