Name: Beau
Birthday: 01-12-77

I was born in Denver, CO during the blizzard of 1977. That's about all I know about my birth. I do know that my parents were really really weird, because they named me Beau. For no reason... There was no other relative that I was being named after or a family friend that shared the same name, yet I was still named Beau. My older brother was named after our dad and our grandpa. I get the weird name. Ah well.

I've lived in Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio and Pennsylvania. While I was in the Marines (95-99) I spent time, at least 6 months or more in Memphis Tennessee, Jacksonville Florida and Cherry Point North Carolina. I also spent 6 months over in Aviano Italy.

My time in the Marines was time well spent. I received a high score on my ASVAB which opened quite a few doors on a career choice while in the Marines. I decided to chose a path less traveled. I chose to go into Crash Fire and Rescue (basically a fire fighter for when planes crash around the base) and was told that was what I was going to be put into. While in boot-camp they told us what our jobs were going to be and I was given the news that I was to be a mechanic for AGSE (Aviation Ground Support Equipment). This wasn't what I had signed up for but nobody really seemed to care so I sucked it up and made the most of it.

I started dating my wife while I was in the Marines and used to drive over 10 hours from NC to OH every weekend to see her and then head back sunday afternoon for another 10 hour drive. We did this for about 6 months. When she finally had enough time in work to take a vacation she came down and visited for a week. It wasn't much longer before I popped the question and she finally moved down to stay with me as my wife. We were married Aug 12 1997.

I served my time in the Marines and was honorably discharged Aug 21 1999. We packed up all of our things and decided to head back to Ohio. For the life of me I couldn't find one job that had an opening for an AGSE technician. Go figure.

I have worked in a wide variety of jobs ranging from retail to tech support and even construction. Places where I had to sell our product I was usually salesman of the month and I always felt a sense of accomplishment. When I was working tech support I earned my spot as one of the top 20 techs out of about 500. I usually aspire when I’m helping people. It just seems to work out that way.

I'm currently living in Washington PA and I'm a stay at home dad keeping the home front somewhat sane while my wife runs her store. I'd like to find a work at home type of job but most of them seem like a scam to get money from you. I just haven’t been able to find the right place.

For those of you who really know me, I know that I'm leaving a lot of stuff out, but this isn't supposed to be a blog. Family Aggro is my blog that needs a lot of my attention and I guess I could fill in the blanks about my life over there. I dunno if I'll ever really sit down every day and type about my day to day things. We'll see.
