Questionnaire time…

1) Where am I? Well, for starters I’m in Las Vegas. I joined the Air Force in 1997. After being at Keesler AFB, MS for nine months of training I got stationed at McChord AFB in Washington. I spent three years + there; got married in 1999 and in 2002 I was selected for my current assignment in Lost Wages (Vegas). I don’t know how I ever dealt with all the rain. It is a special occasion when it rains here; a sort of oddity. I love the weather and hate the traffic. My current enlistment will put me at ten years in the service so I think it would be a waste not to go to twenty years and retire.

2) Significant others? Like I just mentioned, I got married 20 November, 1999, to Bridgit (Murphy – of North River).

3) # of Children? One. We just had a son on the 20th of October, 2005. I was the last of my family to finally have a kid.

4) Hobbies, interests? I still enjoy mountain biking, hiking and I just picked up fishing in the past year. I also have done a lot of running lately. I participated in the inaugural Las Vegas Marathon this past December and finished.

5) Best place visited since graduation? I can’t say...?

6) Something about HS? My favorite days were in our senior year and Mr. Boyer’s morning philosophy class which included coffee and doughnut runs.
