The Personal Stuff

I was born and raised in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Although I've been trying to escape for many years for some reason I just can't pull the trigger and leave. On or about August 3, 1970 this drunk man and woman had some relations and somehow there was a little swimmer sober enough to impregnate the lady. Through the miracles of nature, 9 months later I came popping out into this place we call Earth. My parents were living in a trailer at the time and we soon moved in to a house on the west side of Green Bay on Elmore St. I don't remember much about either of those except for my sister, yes they made another one, was mauled by a big ol dog. Shortly after that we moved in to a house on 12th Ave right by the railroad tracks. I think it was for the built in vibrations but whatever the reason we lived there for a couple years. I attended Kindergarten at Tank School where I had to walk to school, uphill, both way and through blinding snow storms across Mason St alone in the dark. Then in July of 1976 these glorious people who created me moved to the big ol Metropolis of Howard. I attended Hillcrest Heights Elementary, now known as Meadowbrook School, and started my career in soccer. They didn't have soccer yet in Howard so I played for the Green Bay Kickers. That was my life for nearly my entire childhood, soccer all summer and school in the off season. In high school I was also very active in our band, marching band, and pep band. Oh many wonderful memories and awesome friendships were created and some of them even have lasted to present day. I didn't work much because of my soccer and band and track commitments so the fall of 1989 I ventured to the University of Wisconsin - Green Bay. Flunked my way out of there in less than a year and it was a life of fast food after that. Arby's Roast Beef was the final resting place where I settled in for a 7 year career that ended in high cholesterol, obesity, and ulcers. In 1997 I returned to school again, this time to Northeast Wisconsin Technical College to pursue a degree in computers. I graduated from there in May of 2000 with my Associates Degree in CIS - Programmer/Analyst. I'm currently returning to school at Lakeland College to pursue my Bachelors Degree in Computer Science with a minor in Business Administration.

I've lived the party life very well for many years, cured a gambling addiction, had 7 major orthopedic surgeries, lasik eye surgery, bowled 2 perfect 300 games, declined the credit card of one Newt Gingrich, accidently touched the breast of WWF's Miss Elizabeth, played adult soccer for 4 years, coached my nephews soccer for 5 of the past 8 years, jet skied in the ocean, walked down Bourbon Street, driven down The Vegas Strip, streaked a pub at my own birthday party, won money for dressing up like Mark McGwire, gotten a kiss from James Loften's mother, exchanged jokes with Ray Nitschke, met over 50 current and past Packer players, bought a house, lost a pet, and became so damn addicted to Facebook I can't type anymore here.
