Biography
I was born on the 17th of June, 1968 making me a Gemini born in the year of the Monkey. I lived most of my childhood in country Victoria (Australia), until I started work with the Australian Public Service in 1985, when I then made the move to the Big City (ie. Melbourne). I "retired" from the APS in 1998 after accepting a voluntary redundancy offer. Shortly after I left the workforce, I moved to Frisco, Texas to become a student.

Educational Life
I attended Collin College from 2000 to 2005, where I received an Associates Degree in Applied Science (E-Business Media) and an Associates Degree in Arts. Upon finalizing my studies at CCCCD, I transferred to the University of North Texas, in Denton, Texas, and graduated with my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology in May 2007. I intend to continue with graduate school in the field of Sociology.
