Here's a link to my page devoted to my new motorcycle!

Most of my spare time is spent doing something with my bike, so my other hobbies have become a bit less-practiced in the last year or so. I also enjoy occasional wood-working, and my neighbors marvel at my selection of different saws for cutting things! I've made furniture for Suzy's classroom, and various wooden teaching tools. I sew when I need to (recently had to sew a split in the seat of the bike!) and make curtains, and repair and hem clothes when necessary. I enjoy cooking, but hate cleaning up the mess afterward. Basically, I enjoy fixing things, especially when I will be able to save money by doing so, and be able to use the item after I fix it.

I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I hold a calling in the Primary organization that allows me to teach a class of young boys (age 8-12) on Sundays, following a lesson manual provided me at the beginning of each year. I've been teaching this class since December 2007. It's a challenge, but I find that I learn at the same time, and It's fun to see when things actually click with the boys.

My Career:

I'm a Computer/Network tech and officially the "Communications Administrator" for the St. Louis office of Phoenix International Freight Services, Ltd.

I take care of anything that plugs into the wall. Phones, computers, copiers, blown circuit breakers, space heaters, etc. I even hang pictures on the wall when the company decides to re-decorate! I manage the fleet of over 85 copiers across the country in all 27 US offices, and keep track of everything about them. I also maintain the user list in the company's national e-mail system. I add new users and remove them when they leave the company. I manage the data in the system to make sure that the hundreds of contacts are all kept up-to-date as well.
