About me

I am from a small town in North Dakota. I moved to Minnesota after graduating high school to attend college at the University of Minnesota in the Twin Cities. After two years, I decided to take a break from academics and started a career in customer service. I was employed by Minnesota Telemarketing Incorporated, formerly known as Fingerhut. This is where I cultivated my customer service skills over the nearly seven years of employment with the company.

I had con decided to move on because of concerns about the direction of the company. I went to the Antioch Company where I was able to apply my customer service skills and to resume my educational pursuits. While employed under the Antioch Company, I achieved two AAS degrees: one in Network Support and one in Wide-Area Networking. Both these degrees were from Rasmussen College. I furthered my knowledge by studying and becoming certified as a Help Desk Analyst through the Help Desk Institute. I specialize in web design, computer software and database creation. I enjoy reading political satire, album making and photography.

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.
