I’ve been working at Mesa Community College since July of 1996 when I started working for Mike Sims in the Physical Science Department in his Engineering Labs. I worked with Mike Sims for three years as a starving student until Bill DeHaan offered me a job working with him in ITS. Still starving, I did everything I could to get in the good graces of Bill so I could get a permanent job.

I have worked with Bill for a little over four years now as a DBA/Programmer/Jack of all Trades. I enjoy working for MCC and the challenges that are presented to me.

My current duties include taking care of all MCC email accounts, the MyMCC Portal, the servers, and anything else that needs to get done.

While working at MCC, I took classes at MCC and transferred the credits to ASU where I obtained my B.S. in Computer Science in the Fall of 2000.

In my spare time I work on getting in shape, reading, traveling, and getting out more. So far I have traveled to Alaska, St. Maarten, Maui, Ixtapa, and Cabo San Lucas. I have enjoyed all of them for different reasons. Alaska is a very picturesque place to visit with lots to do. Maui is a very nice place because of the lush landscape and awesome beaches. St. Maarten is very nice because of all of the activities to do. Ixtapa is a great place to relax. Cabo, as we all know, a great place to party. I have plans to visit several other places such as Italy, England, France, and Russia. I will try to visit as many of the places as I can and I will get an online album up when I can.

I’m currently trying to decide what I’m going to do about my future. I’ve considered a few things:
• President of the United States seems out of my league since I’m not a good liar.
• Seeing about getting a Masters Degree but not sure at the moment.
• Buying a house
• Learning a language, now which one will it be?
• Construction running one of the really big dump trucks, always wanted to do that since I was a little kid

Hobbies:
• Reading, more for work than recreation
• Hiking
• Traveling
• Computers
• And much more...
