These are some of the people that know me quite well (I think) through friendship:

  • First MCE123 Client - 1999
    • Robert P., TNT Productions, Inc.
  • High School - my mom used to give these two fellow students rides home after school, and I played video games with them extensively, both at school and out of school.
    • Josh P. - he's been a good friend over the years. I still talk to him.
    • Shawn N. - we lived in the same house at one point in time. We were old drinking buddies.
  • Merced College
    • Lorena D. - she was a former USAF Secretary, and she had me figured out from Day 1 of the Cisco classes. A great friendship - I could tell her anything. She'd even delete all of my e-mails, and act as though she never received anything, and then could start all over again. That quality of intelligence is very valuable to me, because I often need someone that I can talk to about anything that can provide feedback, and they need to be able to understand what I'm trying to do with the intelligence, and then bit bucket it if it isn't working and start over. She probably wouldn't even know what I mean by this - she's that smart, and I'm not being sarcastic. She can compartmentalize like no other I have met.
  • Modesto Junior College
    • Kurtis C. - he was an early Marketing teacher, and he was always looking out for my potential. He helped me so much - I wish I could help people the way that he helped me form my business and my career.
  • McIntosh College
    • No friendships notable. I don't know what any of them are up to now. I was never really close to any of them, even though I did extremely well with the curriculum.
  • Daniel Webster College
    • Todd V. - we worked on Marketing projects together. He has a very successful career, and he's been a true friend over the years. I never really gave him enough credit for his Marketing ideas, as I substituted them for my own boring ideas. He's really smart. He knows about my problems with ADHD.
  • Franklin Pierce Law Center
    • Unknown - I didn't attend long enough to get to know them. There were many good friends there.
  • University of New Hampshire, Manchester
    • Donald C. - he's very smart, may be pursuing a PhD after he completes a 5-year Master's Degree through UNHM. He's one of the smartest people I know. Former military, former Chief Information Officer of a company that built data centers and provided data encryption packages for third world nations. We disagree in the political spectrum, but we still get along very, very well.
