Family is probably one of the most important aspects of one's life. I certainly know it's that way for me. My mother and father have been behind me 100% in every decision I've made. They're both amazing human beings and I aspire to be just like them. I someday hope to provide my children with the values my parents have instilled within me and provide my children with the opportunities my parents gave me as well.

My Mother:

My mother was born in the Philippines in December of '64. She has many sisters and their mother past away when they were all very young. She attended school and eventually received a degree equivalent to that of an associates. She moved to the United States when she married my father. They were married until April of 2007. She has spent the last ~10 years working at Intel. She now resides in Marlborough, Massachusetts and is engaged to be married in 2010.

My Father:

My father was born in Pennsylvania on 07/07/57. He has two brothers and three sisters. He dropped out of high school and joined the Air Force at the age of 18. He was stationed in various parts of the world and earned some associate degrees along the way. Eventually he married my mother. Throughout my youth, he pursued two MBAs from The University Of Phoenix. He has worked for several semi-conductor companies, such as Intel, IBM, and Qimonda. Living in Colonial Heights, Virginia, he is now a chair at Richmond's ITT Tech campus.
