I am 40ish years old. Graduated from Avon Old Farms High School in 1985. Received my BA from Vassar College in '89. Around 7 years ago my fiance became ill, and is now disabled. We lost everything. Thanks to a good friend (also disabled) we have a roof over our heads, and I went back to school. I received my A.S. in Network Security from Springfield Technical Community college (3.9 GPA), and went on to get my MSIA (Masters of Science in Information Assurance) from Norwich University (cum laude, 4.0 GPA). I now care for these two disabled adults, and I have three chilren. My oldest daughter lives in New York, and I have a 15 year old daughter and a five year old son here at home). Currently I teach as an adjunct instructor, and am looking for full time work (preferably as a professor somewhere teaching network security). I have been rich (when I was young), and poor, at one time living out of my car. I have been healthy, and have been near death with illness. I like to think that I have a good sense of what matters in life, even if my teenagers don't agree with me! I love a good debate, but I hate when either side of an issue degenerates to name calling and lies. This is a sign that they have a very weak platform, and is an automatic loss in my column. I fear for America, especially in this age of quick news blurbs with little or no fact checking. When I am not with my family, you can find me riding my motorcycle, trying to find balance.
