I served fourteen years in the US. Air Force and one year on active Reserves. I have had an interesting time in my military travels and experiences. It has been an honor to serve my country.
I spent four years in England and then four years in Germany, and the rest of the time here in Maryland. I have a lot of good friends all around the world and think that's pretty cool. My heritage is Danish and I would love to explore that in greater depth. I am currently working as a web designer. Click here to see some of my work on a portfolio site I put up. Work contracts ran out with Hewlett Packard so I found a new company to work for. Before that I worked for General Dynamics as Senior Web Designer. My web career started in the Air Force doing Desktop Publishing that got transferred to web content. What I learned there paved the way for doing the web work I do now. I have also worked part time for CompUSA where skills in dealing with customers, and being knowledgeable about computer hardware and software came into play. It seems everything I have done in the past has pointed me directly right to where I am now - working in a dream job doing something I love!
I like to spend as much time with my daughters as possible. It's so incredible to watch them growing up and to hear their insights into things.
The girls love to help me cook, work on projects or do just about anything. I even let them drive the van in empty parking lots sometimes! (I maintain the right to plausible deniability) Lilli was surprisingly good for how little she is behind the wheel. They have a blast when I let them drive, but we also talk about safety, using turn signals and seat belts and following the rules of the road. I just wish the days were filled with endless hours to snuggle, talk, read, play and laugh together. I treasure these times with the girls, and I know the days, and years will pass us by all too quickly.
My hobbies do, and have, included computers (Commodore C64 started it), reading,
writing (Sci-Fi and Faction - Fact-based Fiction) mostly), making BEEF JERKY, sword fighting, volleyball,
frisbee, drawing, computer art, woodworking, canoeing, fishing, snorkeling, making jewelery, working with polymer clay, and University level studies (whatever is interesting!). The list could go on and on.
I prefer crowds of one or two (and two is usually pushing it) and mostly enjoy deep introspection, and the peace and solitude of Nature. Taking my kids out to learn about and enjoy nature has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. |
