45, err I mean 25
, years old.
I live in Boise, Idaho, and it's an amazing place to call home. You get all the urban amenities you could want, while also having mountains, camping, rafting, hunting, and so much more right in your backyard. It's a fantastic city, though it’s changing rapidly. Californians discovered Boise in the '90s, and the growth has been nonstop ever since. On the bright side, they’ve brought some exciting additions with them. In-N-Out and Top Golf opened here recently, and Raising Cane’s is next (can’t wait for that). Unfortunately, they’ve also brought something less desirable: traffic.
I’ve spent almost my entire career in the telecom industry. For 20 years, I worked in installations before transitioning to I.T. at a local chip manufacturing plant called Micron. Then, in 2019, I received an offer to join the City of Boise’s I.T. team, and I jumped at the opportunity. Best decision ever. My team is incredible, the benefits are outstanding, and I genuinely love what I do. My plan is to stick with it all the way to retirement.
I’m married and we are at 14 years and counting, together for 20. We don’t have children together, but I do have one daughter from a previous relationship. She’s 25 now (yeah, I started early lol), and she’s an amazing person. I’m also a huge dog lover. We have three: two Huskies and a Mini-Aussie who might actually be a Toy-Aussie. He’s 13, but people still think he’s a puppy after he gets a haircut. They’re all fantastic dogs.
I have a ton of interests. Probably too many, honestly. Music is a big one. I love it all, no prejudice against any genre. I even started getting into vinyl a couple of years ago. I enjoy video games and absolutely love cars. I’ve owned two sports cars in my day and savored every second of them. I let them go to explore other things, but I’m planning on picking up the obligatory mid-life crisis Corvette in the next couple of years. I’m also into outdoor fun. I have jet skis for summer days on the water and a camper for quiet escapes into the mountains during the summer.
I was born into a Cowboys family. I really latched onto the team in the ’90s for obvious reasons and have been a fan ever since, though sometimes I question why. Haha! It’s too late now; my heart’s stuck with them, meddling owner and all. I just hope to see them in another Super Bowl someday, but time feels like it’s ticking away faster every year. This forum board keeps me grounded and entertained. Sharing the common frustrations and joys with everyone here really helps.
Thanks for reading my book.
