|My Life|

"Daddy... Can I get a pony?"

Here's me and Charlotte at the Lost Dutchman State Park.

What a cuttie! She's growing up way too fast, I just hope she doesn't mind helping daddy turn some wrenches when she gets older.

Simply put, life is great! Shortly after college, my girlfriend and I packed up our things and moved 2600 miles across the country to seek jobs and start our lives together. We had no jobs lined up, and only knew 2 people here in Arizona.

In May 06' I asked Diana to spend the rest of her life with me. She said yes and in January of 2007, we got "Maui'd". We spent a wonderful week on the southern coast of Maui.

In July, two huge life events occurred... we closed on our first house, and only a week later Diana gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Little Charlotte Rose was born 07-29-07, right on her due date! She weighed in at 8lb-7oz and has been eating ever since.

We also have a 2003 Infiniti G35 Sedan, which can be found by clicking here -->2003 G35

The Infiniti has a few bolt-ons (Borla Dual exhaust, Z-tube intake, drilled/slotted rotors, K&N) and is very fun to drive. This will be the "family" car as it is very safe and gets relatively good gas mileage. We may look into purchasing an SUV for Diana in the near future... possibly a Toyota 4Runner, Lexus RX330, or a similar vehicle.

Our trip to Kingman, AZ

The "lil' Midge" on the Breast Cancer Walk (Nov 2007) around Tempe Town Lake

Here's a short video of me playing with the "G" on Mt. Graham, near Safford, AZ. Mt. Graham is home to the world's largest and last-to-be-built LBT (land-based telescope). Elevation change is from around 1600ft ASL to 10,500ft ASL. That's almost 9000ft up in the air in less than 26 miles. It's the equivalent to driving from the Sonoroan Desert in Mexico to the middle of Canada. The base of the mountain loads of cacti and rattlesnakes, while the top is loaded with Ponderosa Pines and Moose! Well worth the trip if you live in the southwest.
