| Introduction | I'm a native Oregonian. Born, raised, and educated in this great state. Proud to be a Beaver and fortunate to have met and worked with the people I have. I currently work for a software company in the consumer support org, and eventually hope to have land and a ranch for cattle, horses, grapes (for Wine), Apples, Pears, Flax, etc. Of course, I'd sign up to colonize Mars if that ever happens in my lifetime. |
