10 Semi-Interesting, Somewhat Fun Facts About Me
or how I learned to stop worrying and love the
library

2
Background (The boring stuff)
  • I was born in Vancouver on September 11, 1980
    (now a very strange day for a birthday)
  • Ive lived in Richmond for my entire life (so Im
    used to flat land,
  • and live in constant danger
  • of being flooded)

3
School is Fun!!!
  • I graduated from H.J. Cambie Secondary School in

  • Richmond in 1998
  • (Go Crusaders!)
  • Next, I graduated from UBC with my B.A. in
    Political Science in May 2002
  • (I wanted to be a politician, but
  • I couldnt be that corrupt)

4
Working can be fun
  • Ive worked in a wide variety of odd jobs, such
    as
  • A drafting/engineering assistant working on
    AutoCAD
  • An academic peer tutor
  • Assembly line machine work at an injection
    molding plastics company

5
sometimes
  • Plus
  • A part-time disc jockey for weddings and parties
  • A direct sales cutlery demonstrator, salesman and
    team leader
  • Cashier at a really, really busy farm/produce
    market in Richmond

6
This past summer
  • I went to Montreal and Quebec City for my Uncles
    wedding

My parents, my brother and I at Montreals
Botanical Gardens prior to the ceremony

And more importantly, to watch some womens
tennis
  • I was this close to ANNA KOURNIKOVA!!!
  • And Kim Clijsters, just to name a few

Miscellaneous Interests Music
  • Ive played the piano since I was five years
    old
  • and the guitar for nine years as well, plus I
    write some songs
  • So you could say Im somewhat
  • musically inclined

9
and more music
  • I also listen to many kinds of music, depending
    on my mood, including
  • RB/Soul Babyface, Brian McKnight
  • Jazz Duke Ellington, John Coltrane, Miles Davis,
    Charlie Parker
  • Emo/Indie/Pop-Punk/Alternative Rock Lifehouse,
    Something Corporate, Jimmy Eat World, Dashboard
    Confessional

Miscellaneous Interests Sports
  • I love to play golf and tennis, as much as I
    can
  • I won the 1998 Galiano-Gulf Islands Invitational
    (our annual, ultra-competitive, take-no-prisoners
    golf tournament for family and friends!)

11
My Religion
  • My religion (or obsession depending on who you
    talk to) is following and supporting Manchester
    United Football Club
  • This entails waking up anywhere from 4 am to 7 am
    on weekends to watch or
  • listen to matches and do lots
  • of screaming and praying

12
Reading is fun!!!
  • My favourite author is Ralph Ellison, who wrote
    Invisible Man, plus countless other essays and
    short stories
  • Who knows but that, on the lower frequencies, I
    speak for you?
  • - Ralph Ellison
  • Ralph Ellison photo from the PBS American Masters
    website http//www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/d

Looking into the crystal ball
  • In the future, I hope to
  • survive the MLIS program and graduate from SLAIS
  • find a cushy library job and use my newly
    acquired skills as a well-trained information
    professional
  • win the Galiano-Gulf Islands tournament again
  • travel to England to watch my heroes (Glory Glory
    Man United!)
