Just wanted to give you a little bio about myself. I grew up in northern New Jersey near New York City. I worked as a machinist after I finished high school in 1971. In 1986 I moved to the San Jose, CA area along with my first lover. I took classes in computer science while working for a telcom development company. I then worked for the San Jose and Haward branches of a national electrical distributor for almost 13 years in various warehouse positions.

John and I met in September 1997 and we moved in together shortly thereafter. Having John as a workout partner has definitely helped with the productivity of my workout time. Of course, just having John around is heaven. He's gotta be some kind of saint since he has to put up with me. As indicated John and I just settled in to our new house in Albuquerque, New Mexico this past June 2001. On a strange note, I'm finding out from different sources that New Mexico is not part of the US of A in some people's minds.

My current stats are 5'9", 245lbs, 51" chest, 19" arm, 38" waist, 27" thigh. The only supplement I'm currently taking is creatine.

I love to read scifi, mysteries, and science texts. I'm just getting the hang of skiing and like it a lot. Also, of course working out with and going out to eat with friends is high on my list of things I like to do.

I was born 34 years ago in Albuquerque, NM. I have lived in  Bloomington, Indiana, Phoenix, Half Moon Bay, California, San Francisco, Santa Clara, California, and as of March 2001, back in Albuquerque with Charlie, the love of my life!

I have a bachelors' degree in Broadcast Journalism and Political Science from the University of New Mexico, and a masters' degree in College Student Personnel Administration and Counseling from Indiana University.

These days I am the Curriculum Development Manager for Caxton, Inc.  I teach and create learning materials for all sorts of software packages for desktop, web, and electronic publishing.

Stats-wise, I am 5'10 and 270-275 lbs, 52" chest, 39" waist, 20" arm, and 30" thigh. It's great having Charlie as a workout partner...it's really inspirational to see how BIG he pumps up with a good workout.

For fun, I like to read, go to movies and theater, travel, snow ski, and spend time with friends.
