I became interested in genealogy several years ago but have only recently "gotten serious" about research. It's been very rewarding. With each new piece of the puzzle that I find, I feel a sense of accomplishment. Genealogy is now a hobby/pasttime which takes up a majority of my "free" time.
I'm proud to say that I graduated from Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois. After graduating from B.U., I served a volunteer mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I served most of my mission in the beautiful country of Croatia, but I was also able to serve in Serbia and Hungary. I was there from 1992-1994--right in the middle of the war. So, hopefully I'll have some stories to share with my descendents some day. My prayers go out to the people of Kosovo and the NATO military personnel serving there.
I am currently a graduate student at the University of Utah. I am working on my Masters of Public Administration with an emphasis in human resource management. I am currently employeed as a product consultant with Systems and Computer Technology (SCT) based in Malvern, Pennslyvania.
