I recently switched from iMovie HD to Final Cut Pro.
About Me:
My parents divorced when I was in Elementary School. I lived with my mother during the week and my father on the weekends. My mother has been a school teacher for almost 30 years and currently teaches fourth grade at Hamilton Elementary School in North Kingstown RI. My father worked for New England Telephone as an electrical engineer and retired just before Bell Atlantic bought them. He went to Bryant college were he learned to program BASIC and COBOL. His father owned his own radio repair shop so you could say engineering runs in my family!
When I was in High School I was one of those kids that got involved with everything. I played the trombone, ran Cross Country, took part in two school plays, was in student council and even ran for student council president. I lost though, I still think it may have been rigged. :p
Besides school, Boy Scouts was a big part of my life. I became an Eagle scout at 14 and worked summers at Yawgoog Scout Reservation in Rhode Island.
While I was in high school I also founded and ran a non-profit theatre company called "The Revived Theatre, Those People who put on Plays". The last half of the name was my idea! We put on two plays before I left Coventry for College. Oddly I can only remember that one of the plays was Exit the Body. I was the producer for that production.
In 2004 patent 6,758,746 which I co-invented became an official US patent. My divorce finalized in October of 2004. We split amicably. I began spinning glow poi. I also bought a PS2.
In 2005 I ran the North East Regional event. It was a convention of the Camarilla with 160 attendees that made about $4,000 for the juvenile diabetes research foundation. I also learned Salsa dancing in 2005.
In 2006 I started hooping. I traveled to Germany. I became a burner (member of the burning man community). I became a Fire Artist as well as a contributor to Wikipedia. I have also done charity work for Mother's Without Borders. In 2006 I also began publishing my second novel, Time-Keepers. I waited overnight in line to get a Wii on release day.
