About Me

My photo
Okie
I'm a Husband. A Father. A Son. A Brother. A Friend.

Happily married to an amazing woman and my best friend since 1996 with 3 wonderfully fabulous kids.

I've worked for the past decades in the software industry doing QA work on projects ranging from data manipulation to video games to web sites and applications.

I have a degree in English and plan (one day) to teach High School English.

I love to Read, Write, play Board Games & Video Games and just have fun with family.

I love to travel when I can and especially love the beach and the ocean. I'm also a huge Disney fan and love the Disney Parks.
