Bio:
I grew up in a tropical climate of the Philippines, next to white sand beaches, vast oceans, and mountains. However, once I've learned skiing, I have come to appreciate the full seasons. I learned to ski on the slope of Mt. Etna Volcanoes (Mt. Etna Sud & Nord ski resorts) of Sicily Italy on the Winter of 1994 to 1995 while on my first duty station in the Air Bases of NAS I & II Sigonella, Sicily Italy, as active service in the US Navy being an enlisted Aviation Mechanic and Electrician, known rating as: ASE or GSE (Ground Support Equipments for Air Bases). After my second duty station at USS John C. Stennis CVN-74 in Norfolk Virginia on my last 2 years, I decided not to re-enlist & end my military career and adventure, in which I got out of the service in 1997 to pursue my lifetime dream of becoming an Engineer following a footstep of my Dad who is himself a Chemical Engineer working for Flour Engineering company as Senior Principal Engineer. Anyway, I attended few Universities as a working student; my Engineering Degrees are the following: General Engineering from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (2002), and Electronic Engineering from DeVry University in Addison IL campus (2005). At this time, I'm continuing with my Masters at Keller Graduate School of Management of DeVry University, I am almost done with my Masters in Project Management (MPM) and will continue for MBA and finish at the end of this year 2009. Currently working for System Sensor by Honeywell Corporation as Reliability and Design Engineer. I am an all around outdoor person. Love to ski on Winter here in Illinois and Wisconsin, fishing, canoeing, and camping on Summer to Fall seasons, with my family and two dogs. I am now definitely living in my dream and living to the fullest by appreciating the mountains in full seasons.
