A little bit about myself

My complete name is Fábio Hiroyuki Yamaia, and I was born on May, 16th, 1971 in São Paulo - S.P. - Brazil. I've moved from São Paulo (Brazil) to Dallas, TX (USA) on April 1998 for a job duty, and I lived in Dallas for the next three of years. I have one son: Daniel Benfatti Yamaia, and he was born November/24/1999 while I was living in Dallas. I've put some stuff together for him. You can check it right here.

I'm an Electronic Engineer, graduated at Escola de Engenharia Mauá in São Caetano do Sul - SP. Back in Dallas, I was working for an American company called AmazonTech, and my speciality was Hardware/Software Integration. I was working on a huge project called SIVAM - Sistema de Vigilância da Amazônia, which I would translate as System for the Vigilance of the Amazon, with another company from USA called RAYTHEON.

On February/2001, we moved from Dallas/TX to Columbus/OH for another job duty. I am now working as a consultant for AT&T. My speciality at the time was System and Network Administration.

On November/2003, we came back to Brazil after spending almost 5 years up in the United States. On April/2003, I joined back with my previous company ATECH.

As I told you before, I like Paintball very much. But I also like many other different sports. Let's list some of them:

  • Judo
  • Tennis
  • Baseball (GECEBS was the name of the team)
  • Table Tennis (still do it whenever I got the chance)
  • Soccer (still do it whenever I got the chance)
  • Voleyball (court and beach)
  • Riding my Harley Davidson (but THAT's another story...)

    I also like to travel on my vacations, and whenever I get the chance, I do it. Let's list some of the places outside Brazil that I've already been to:

  • Orlando and Miami, Florida - USA (my first trip overseas - tourism)
  • Lima - Peru (play baseball)
  • Assuncion - Paraguay (play Baseball)
  • Escobar and Buenos Aires - Argentina (play Baseball)
  • Aruba and Curaçao (honey-moon)
  • Dallas and Garland, Texas - USA (work)
  • Houston, Texas - USA (tourism and play Paintball)
  • Galveston, Texas - USA (tourism)
  • Boston and Woburn, Massachusetts - USA (work)
  • San Antonio, Texas - USA (tourism)
  • Steamboat Springs, Colorado - USA (tourism)
  • Azle, Texas - USA (play Paintball)
  • Ardmore, Oklahoma - USA (tourism)
  • Grand Canyon, Arizona - USA (tourism)
  • Seattle, Washington - USA (tourism)
  • Vancouver, British Columbia - Canada (tourism)
  • Whistler, British Columbia - Canada (tourism)
  • Reynoldsburg, Ohio - USA (work)
  • Columbus, Ohio - USA (it was right there!)
  • The Rivermen, West Virginia - USA (tourism - white-water rafting)
  • Dayton, Ohio - USA (tourism - Dayton Air Show)
  • Toronto, Ontario - Canada (tourism - visit my cousin)
  • Niagara Falls - Canada (tourism)

    Music is also something that I like. ELECTRONIC MUSIC is the style that I prefer. I don't know many names of bands that play electronic music, but if you play some of them, I can really shake my bones! I like Rock'n Roll also, but that's just when I'm driving my car (and riding my Harley). And since I've lived in Dallas for almost 3 years, COUNTRY songs also are a part of musical taste now. :-)
