I am an avid watch collector, and enjoy public speaking, especially on Workplace Diversity. enough to make it my business. I spend a lot of time listening to live music, reading, and these days, working on building up my new venture. My employment theory: do what you love to do--the rest will follow. I am working on an anthology of stories about "escape." If you are a writer, or are intrigued, click here. |

I am one of five siblings, three sisters and a brother. I'm the middle child, so I'm the diplomat, the peacekeeper and the mediator. When I came out to Mom, Dad and the whole extended family back in '92, it actually brought us closer together. We are a very close family. I love my brother and sisters dearly, and my brothers-in-law and sister-in-law as well. Mom and Dad have become my great friends in our later years--and they are among the greatest joys of my life. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Austin
has brought me some of the greatest friends I have ever had. Steve,
(in a class of his own), Jack & Veek, Marty & Jerry, Lori & Brian, Karl, Heidi, Mo & Ron, Chuck, my bowling buddies, David & Chaz, among
others, are a big part of why Austin is my home. If Texas is "a whole 'nother country" then
Austin is my favorite "tourist
destination" with a wealth of cool people and
cultural diversions
for all. Some of my friends used to work at Tivoli Systems, Inc . There is a mailing list just for them--if you worked there, you can join below! |
