Don't trust whitey! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Let's see... I was born in El Dorado, Arkansas in 1972, but only lived there until I was about 4. I have vague memories of living there. We had a small house, and my family was not wealthy by any stretch. We moved to Dover, Arkansas, a little town in west/central Arkansas to be closer to my wife's family who also lived there. Subsequently, I attended that school from K-12. My dad worked as a car salesman, car mechanic, and then got on at a nuclear plant as a mechanic, and it paid decent money.I was introduced to the red box by my sister, actually, who bought it because it looked interesting. She didn't know what to do with it, so she gave it to me. I didn't know what to make of it, either, actually. I played my first game of D&D with some friends at a birthday party in 5th grade. I didn't play again until I was a sophomore in high school. That was a 1st edition. I made a drow acrobat, because the GM thought that drow were cool. I named him after a city the GM used to live in - Delmar (California). For some reason, they believed that all drow names should start with "D".I lived at home while I went to the local university (Arkansas Tech), and majored in computer science. I started out with a minor in music, but dropped it once I realized how futile that was. My school didn't recognize an official minor anyway, so it would have gained me nothing.I did play clarinet all through college, and it paid for more than half of my tuition. I took a job my junior year at the local Wal-Mart, and paid for the remaining two years myself. I graduated from college in 1995 with a 2.97 GPA (debt free). I could have done much better, but just didn't apply myself very much.Graduated from college, and transfered from the Wal-Mart store to the home office in Bentonville as a programmer. There, I did C and VB programming for 3.5 years. I eventually left Wal-Mart and moved to Kansas City working at Sprint.In Kansas City, I met my wife Kelly, and were married in Jamaica in 2000. Next week we're celebrating our 5 year anniversary, and will be expecting our second child in November.Last year, I moved to Virginia. I play in a weekly C&C game, and am active in the biggest and oldest community band in the area where I play Bb and Eb clarinets. I like to compose music in my free time, but admit that I have a lot to learn about music. I'm also pursuing my master's degree in computer information systems from an online degree program, and am currently stuck in the mire that is cost accounting. At my pace, I will hopefully finish at the end of 2007.That sums me up in a nutshell, I suppose. Nothing too extravagent.</blockquote>
