Well, I guess I should Introduce myself as well.

I was born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada in May of 1969. I have lived in this city all my life and have enjoyed it fully and love it here.
I am also a Christian and try to do all things to the best of my ability to show others just by my actions that I do love my Lord but I am by no means perfect.

In my early teens I got involved in my home churches media department as we were at the time airing our services on TV across Canada and so I got involved running camera and within a few months I was also running the front of house mix for the services as well on ocation. I have now been involved for almost 25 years and have even done several studio recordings and very large productions in charge of lighting design and audio mixing for a live 40 piece orchestra at Christmas time for several years.

Besides the obvious My other hobbies/interests are camping, cycling and trains.

I remained single until I was in my mid 30's until I met my beautiful wife Deanna who had three girls and we were married in July of 2003. we have since then had another two girls of our own for a total of 5 girls We sold my townhouse last year and bought a house in an older neighborhood that has really large Elm trees and has a park right outside or front door. The house has a full basement with 9 foot ceilings so I was finally able to build the home theater that I always wanted.

I am a building Operator (HVAC engineer) at a small private University here for the past 8 years but have also worked in several office towers and a large shopping mall doing the same work. This involves everything from filter changes, electrical work, plumbing, boiler water treatment, light bulb replacement and so much more.

Well, I am looking forward to working with everyone here and not only share what I know but continue to learn from you.
