drawing I have a BFA in Painting and Drawing from the University of Utah, and am currently finishing up teaching a Basic Drawing class for the Spring Community Education program at Kearns High School. In addition, I have been drawing since I can remember, and continue to draw, have had two solo exhibitions and two group exhibitions and have been featured on radio, television and newspaper. general computer I have over ten years working with computers and the various softwares that come with them. I have and continue to involve myself with computers and am very familiar with office networks, up to Windows XP operatings systems quirks and requirements. Have provided technical assistence in the use of tax software in relations to how it applies to Windows XP, and am very good at troubleshooting issues with Windows. Suffice it to say, I know how to use PC's! While not as familiar with Macintosh's, I working familiarity with the operating system on that type of computer and have about 2 years experience with those systems. grammar I am an avid reader, and writer. I enjoy the spoken and written word and feel there is not enough of it out there. In general, I beleive people have lost the ability to speak and understand the subtleties of the English language. Thats English language not American! If you need help in expanding your vocabulary, let me help you do that. photoshop Photoshop, THE premier digital imaging software on the market. A program I have been familiar with since version 2.0 back in 1994 at the University of Utah. Currently, I am using CS3 and have used different versions of Photoshop, primarily in the video game industry, creating textures, backdrops or concept art for different PC and platform games. I can teach the basic layout of Photoshop, what tools do what, and more importantly and if this is what you are interested in how to touch up and fix up photographs. weightlifting While I have no formal education in weightlifting, I do know what works and what does not. What needs to be done and how to do it so you will not hurt yourself. I avidly go to the gym four to five days a week, and do 45 minutes of cardio and 30 to 45 minutes of weights, focusing on a specific body part for that day. I have gone through a bout of weight gain, but due to diligence, have dropped from 233 pounds to 210 pounds since the beginning of 2008 with the goal of dropping another 15 pounds (I'm definatley on my way!). If you just bought that home gym, and want some pointers of suggestions on what to do, let me help you!
