The life and times of me (in reverse chronology).

Hi.

Bought my first motorcycle... a 1967 BMW R50/2.

Moved away from my home state of North Dakota to take a job as a Designer for Abercrombie & Fitch in Columbus, Ohio.

Worked part-time at a small design studio (Studio 9) in Fargo during my last semester at M.S.U. and I was hired full-time after graduation.

Graduated from Moorhead State University (M.S.U.) with a double major in Visual Comm. & Mass Comm.

Gained an appreciation for old films and filmmaking. He was an amazing professor by the name of Ted Larson. He was an infectious, passionate man. He loved film and he passed that passion on to many of his students, including me. I learned so much from him. We'll miss you Ted.

Became a teacher's assistant for one of my favorite professors at M.S.U., Mark Strand. Helped students learn page layout programs and some design programs.

Transferred to Moorhead State University (M.S.U.). This is where I would eventually find my interest in computers and graphic design. Thanks to those who inspired me and taught me while at college. (Mark, Mike, Wayne, Ted, JG, Chris, Tim, Jason, Kody, Paulie, & others.)

My first apartment. Moved into a three bedroom apartment with Josh (my best friend from high school) and Aric (computer stud).

Not knowing what I wanted to do with my life, I decided to attend North Dakota State University. It just so happens that many of my high school friends were going there as well. I moved into the dorms my freshman year with my best friend, Josh (Reed Hall, 2nd Floor).

What a fun freshman year. We had pizza boxes stacked up to the ceiling. I had left the crusts in some of the boxes so we had to throw them out after so long. They started to stink.

I took over my brother's DJ Service - the Party Ordinance. Did this throughout my college years and a little beyond. It was hard work, but at the same time, it was a lot of fun.

I graduated from Maple Valley High School. Thought I'd never miss high school, but I do. My school was small, 17 people in my graduating class, so I was pretty much involved in everything and knew everybody.

Made it to Regionals in Basketball. I dunked the ball during the last game of my high school career, which was always something I strived to do before I graduated. I still have the newspaper article showing me dunking it.

I finished restoring a black 1962 Chevrolet Impala. It was hard work, but a great experience and a big accomplishment for me. It took about a year and a half to restore it. Dad helped me out a bunch, thanks dad.

I Love you Mom.

During warm-ups at a B-squad basketball game in Casselton, ND, I broke the glass backboard when I went up for a dunk. I turned white as a ghost afterwards. We had to play half court for a half. I still have a piece of glass to remember the occasion.

The Challenger Space Shuttle blows up. I was in elementary class watching it with all my classmates. I think everyone my age can remember where he was when that happened.

As far as I can remember the first movie I ever saw in the theater was E.T. Everybody phone home right now.

Kindergarten starts. I disliked school at first, there were some big and scary kids in my class.

I am told, by my brothers, that I did some weird stuff growing up. But really, can you trust what your brothers tell you? Besides, I'm not the only one who played football with Scooby-Doo underoos and a football helmet on.

It all starts. This is me at six months.
Aren't I cute?
