I'm currently a student at Marymount University pursuing a BA in English with a secondary teaching certification. Prior to my enrollment at Marymount I was a U.S. Marine for 13 years, worked in the IT field in the area of applications development (primarily for legal information systems) for 9 years, worked in the running specialty industry (read "running bum") for 5 years, and after 9/11 served in the U.S. Army for 8 years, retiring from active duty in 2012.

I love animals and find I often have to tolerate people (but I guess I love them as well). I should be writing papers for class instead of blogging but this is just a little something to do from time to time that, hopefully, will be of interest to someone, somewhere. If not, at least it may serve to be cathartic. Enjoy!
