Dan tagged me.

Five things you didn’t know about me.  Well, considering there are a whole 10 of you out there that read my blog (and most of you actually know me outside of this blog) this is gonna be tough.

1. I have an Associate degree in Law Enforcement and am about 8 classes shy of my BS in Criminal Justice.  I’ve taken maybe 5 computer-related classes in college.  Maybe one day I’ll go back and finish.

2. A career in software development was NOT option 1.  Hell, it wasn’t even option #2.  After I was unable to join the military (medically DQ’d), I figured being a cop would do it for me.  Not even close.  As I was attending college to receive my degree / state law enforcement certification, I started programming.  After working as a local reserve officer for awhile, I decided I’d rather write code.  It’s safer and the money is MUCH better.

3. I’ve known my wife since kindergarten.  We didn’t start dating until our Junior year in high school though.

4. To steal one from Jason Follas — I can’t swim and had a bad experience when I was younger, but unlike Jason I don’t really have any desire to learn either.  My wife and kids can swim though, so I figure it’s all good.

5. I’m 34 and have never flown.  I haven’t had a compelling reason to step foot on a plane and fly anywhere.  To be honest, it scares the bejeezus out of me.

Now I’m supposed to tag 5 others.  After looking through all the blogs I read, I think everyone has been tagged, so it looks like my part in propogating this meme has ended.
