I am a US citizen by choice and am passionate about my adopted country. English is my third language as I lived in two countries in Europe before coming to America. I also have working knowledge of several others. Since coming to America I have lived (more than a year) in South East Asia and shorter times in Canada and Mexico. NYC was the first location in America where I lived and then moved to Nebraska and finally in California. I served in the US Army with an Military Intelligence MOS (look it up). I attended several Colleges and Universities including UCLA and University of Bangkok. My first W2 job was as a glazer repairing hail damaged Airport Hangers in Grand Island Nebraska. I worked on farms milking cows, irrigating crops, harvesting alfalfa and wheat. I worked as computer manager for several companies and had several of my own companies. The first was an outsourcing service while in High School. My latest was a computer company selling computer hardware and software in several states. I played in several bands and led my own band playing at several nightclubs in Los Angeles area including Hollywood. We also played private parties, colleges, and universities. I like most types of music (country western to classical – opera & ballet - to jazz to folk). Tennessee Walker is my favorite horse type. I used to play tennis and skied but not so much lately. I blog and write comments on the net.
