Personal
Born in Akron, Ohio. Recently married (2002), my new bride, Donna, brought both a son
and daughter into my life. Tragically, her son and his girlfriend were both
killed by a drunk driver, in January 2003. My son and daughter-in-law have two
sons and a daughter. They live in North Carolina. Donna's new granddaughter ,
Abree Marie, daughter Melissa and
son-in-law Ryan live in Sacramento, CA. We have just celebrated our fifth anniversary.
Education
I still attend Akron University, but have yet to get
a degree. I have concentrated on Business Administration courses as well as the
required undergraduate courses. I was on the Dean's List for the 1997 Fall Semester for Technical
Writing and Human Resource Management courses. I have also attended George Mason
University in Virginia. You're never too old to go back to school. Currently
taking Illustration/Advertising Photography and Web Animation (Flash).
Current Work
Currently l am laid off from my job as night-shift supervisor at a manufacturing
plant.
I also service office equipment at N.A.S.A., the National Aeronautical and Space
Administration.
Creating or maintaining web sites is also an extra bit of fun I have. I am the webmaster of this, and of the
www.augusthealth.com
web site.
Interests
As with everyone, my interests are varied and to some, they may think
boring. Music, Dancing, Computers and
Computing, Art (I do water colors), Photography, Numismatics (the study of
coins), Railroad Modeling (the historically modeling of a railroad), Reading
(when I get a chance) and much more. Naturally I can only do one thing at a
time, so when the fancy hits, I get the gear out and go for it.

friendly.
