Background : I graduated Barstow high school in June of 1994.  From there I quickly started my career in computer repair with Event Horizons as Junior Engineer.  While apprenticing under the guidance of  Kenneth Kolbly I learned much of the fundamentals required for simple to trivial problem solving of everyday software and hardware issues.  During my time with Event Horizons I was also able to part take in a few electronic engineering programs where I gained a good amount of my programming background theory.  Though most of my day was spent in the lab, in my spare time I utilized much of my learned knowledge to help develop Barstow's First Internet Service Provider.  Providing at the time the fastest local analog connection to the Internet.  It was a difficult choice that I made when I left the boat of knowledge that the people of Event Horizons had to offer for a quick stop in Idaho where I put a good portion of my gained networking and PC experience to work for the Paperhouse in the small and friendly town of St. Maries, Idaho.  While there I started the implementation of networking the local schools to the Internet.  It was during this time that I was able to add to much of my knowledge WWW designing background.  Not long after I was given an opportunity to return to the High Desert to work for the government as a Civilian Computer Specialist at the Army's National Training Center, NTC Fort Irwin.
