Language Spoken: Fluent on English & Tagalog (Filipino language), learned some Italian because I lived in Italy back in 1993-1995.

Bio:
I grew up in a tropical climate of the Philippines, next to white sand beaches, vast oceans, and forests 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 being on the Navy on my first duty station in the Air Bases of NAS I & II Sigonella, Sicily Italy. I enlisted as 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 & ended my military career and adventure, in which I got out of the service in 1997 to pursue another profession of becoming an Engineer. I attended a couple Universities as a working student; my Engineering Degrees are the following: General Engineering from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (Grad yr 2002), and Electronic Engineering from DeVry University in Addison IL campus (Grad yr 2005). Moreover, I continued with my Masters at Keller Graduate School of Management of DeVry University, I finished with my Masters in Project Management (MPM) and finishing up Masters in Business Administration (MBA) by April 2010. I am 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.
