back to table of contents I am a recent
(December '98) graduate from the University
of Maryland at College Park, the largest of the three major campuses.
For those of you who usually come to this site to see an ex-college
student still looking for a job sorry to disappoint you, I found one. I
now work in the Billing Customer Support department at Intermedia Digex. I am really happy here so far.
The people are great, I like the company, and the business is one I can
see myself growing in.

The things that I find myself doing most often
I love to study history including both modern and ancient civilizations.
I like to play racquetball when I make the time. I have just begun SCUBA diving and hope to get more into
it. I love hiking especially at night. I enjoy mountain biking although
I am not a crazy cyclist, and I probably spend most of my time studying
people and why they do the things they do.

My Favorite Locations
-
Having lived in many areas of the country and visited almost every state
I will have to say that my favorite place is Rome (not the one in
Wisconsin). I visited Rome a few years ago and was so inspired that I
sought and found a degree in History specializing in Ancient/Mediterranean
studies. It was amazing to me to be in the Capital of a civilization that
ruled longer and with more authority than any other known civilization.
If you want to be overwhelmed visit
Rome, a city that has "new buildings" that are older than our
country.

My second favorite place to be is Colorado, a state I used to live in.
Colorado is incredible. The air and water are crystal
clear and the scenic views are breathtaking. Colorado is somewhat of a
mecca for an outdoor enthusiast like myself. There is quite a bit of rock
climbing, mountaineering, hiking, backpacking, paddling, skiing (Nordic
and Alpine), ice-skating, cycling (mountain and road), and many other fun
activities. Plus, the high altitude really gets you into shape.

My Favorite movies
- Of course first place is uncontended with episode V The EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
The movie all together is terrific. It represents the second stage of
an epic that concludes with the conclusion in wander as the "bad guys"
appear to be wining. The movie is exciting with non-stop action
beginning with an exhilarating battle on the ice-covered planet, Hoth,
between the rebel alliance and the Empire's All Terrain
Armored Transports.
I am also eagerly awaiting  set to
release May 19th, 1999 (wahoo).

My second favorite movie would have to be Get Shorty Where John
Travolta shows, once again, how cool he is when he begins the movie as a
loan shark and ends it as co-producer of a major Hollywood production
while he is dating Karen Flores (Rene Russo) an actress.

- The Fifth
Element is also one of my top choices.
- And finally, Hudson
Hawk
One of the great parts about this movie is the terrific songs that are sung
by the two leads: Eddie Hawkins (Bruce Willis) and Tommy Five-Tone (Danny
Aiello).
Sunset in Maryland
This picture of the sunset was
taken with my Casio digital camera by my fiance'. For those of you who
have not experienced a digital camera, I highly recommend visiting your
local electronics store and checking them out. Be sure to bring your
checkbook because it will be difficult to leave the camera in the store
once you play with
it. I love the convenience of knowing instantly whether the
pictures turned out well or not.

My Congressional Intern Experience
My experience working in a Congressional Office from October 1997
to December 1998 was terrific. I received six upper level credits
through a historical internship program at school. My assignment
was to work a certain amount of hours and write a paper in which I
discuss the Capitol as a historical tour. For the paper, I mostly drew
from what I had learned during my time there but I also used a lot
of new information I learned about the early years of the Capitol and
the many stages it went through to become the icon of the free world
like it is today.
