Biography:

I was born in the Philippines on March 11, 1957 with the name of Aurelio Situbal Marquez. I lived in the Philippines until I was 9 years old when my family moved to Guam, USA. In Guam I attended elementary junior high and high school and graduated high school at John F. Kennedy Senior High in June, 1976. After high school I worked for several months at major food stores as a bagger and eventually moving to the produce department. In December 1976, having realized that my life in Guam was  going nowhere, I decided to join the US Army to seek adventure and challenge. On January 6, 1977, I went active duty in the United States Army. The challenge and adventure I have always crave for in my life started. I served the US Army for over 21 years. Within that time span, I became an airborne paratrooper, telecommunications operator, crypto repairer, instructor, recruiter, fitness trainer, communications facility supervisor and served as Mayor of Camp Rumbaugh, Bosnia. What comes along while performing these challenging positions, was the fact that I was able to travel and work in places like Europe (nine years), Korea, (one year), Saudi Arabia, (seven months), Bosnia, (six months), Canada, (three months) and many states throughout the US. At present I am working for the Florida Highway Patrol and who knows maybe in six month I could be in California. At this moment in my life I do still look for challenge and adventure.
