I have the most wonderful wife in the whole world (sorry if you are a wife but I'm just stating the facts as I see them). She is a fantastic mother, an amazing friend, and my soul mate. We have grown-up together, become adults, and now parents. I'm currently a stay-at-home father and graduate student, but I'm looking to return to work pretty immediately. My wife is a counselor and super good at it. My son just likes to have fun. Bako born, Bako raised, and Bako stayed (for now).

Me Specifically: I graduated CSUB with a major in Sociology and minor in Theatre. I've spent time directing plays at a local high school. I also spent a couple of months as a teen mentor imparting theatrical skills. After my first round of college I worked for the Department of Mental Health as a team lead helping the chronically and persistently mentally ill, homeless, and substance abusing populations. In round two of school I am nearing completion of my Masters of Business Administration (three courses left!) and anticipate graduation in the fall. I can't wait to cross the stage. I am an avid reader (of anything, but I did really enjoy William Gibson's novels), I love watching movies (if you haven't seen Gattaca then rent it. Also, Battlestar Galactica rocks), I play Xbox 360 when I can (JellySideDown), and I've pretty much trimmed my other hobbies away. I am working on starting a business. Oh, I'm also trying my hand at the whole blogging thing so give 'em a read and criticize away.
