Extended info... begin here...

Who am i?  I'm currently working for an insurance company in the Salt Lake Valley.  I fled the advertising agency I used to work for a day before they had a huge round of layoffs.  I miss working downtown, but that's life.  I program database software, yes, it gets pretty dull at times.  I enjoy photography... hopefully I'll be able to establish myself as a professional someday in the near future. 

I don't really know what's happening with my life right now.  I don't know what will become of me, where the future will lead.  I get the impression that I'd like to move out to France someday, but who knows?  What do I want out of life?  What will make me happy?  I'm grasping for answers and learning a thing or two along the way.

 

Ok, since you're an information-hungry bastard, I guess I'll tell you a little about what I like.
