Who am I? - Up to High School

Good question. This is always tricky posting such information to the Web, as you never know who may be lurking out there. Yes, there are scarier people on the web than I.

I was born in the early 1970's to a very unusual family. Unusual in the fact that they are loving, caring and still married after raising my brother and I and setting us free on to the world. They live in Sussex New Brunswick, where I spent most of my formative years (which may explain a lot to some of you).

I got interested in computers while we spent two years living in very rural Ontario (Port Burwell, pop.~500). My dad bought me a Commodore 64 and I fell in love with it. I spent Gr. 8&9 in Ontario, and beyond the usual hobbies of Hockey and Boy Scouts, I joined the High-school Wrestling team. (They needed to fill the ultra-feather weight slot, I never won a single match, but being on the wrestling team did keep the other bullies at bay ;)).

We moved back to New Brunswick for Gr.10 and I began my delve into Dungeons and Dragons. History will tell whether my fateful encounter with Cecil Stacey was for good or ill, but I was hooked. Between Computers and D&D, just about every spare moment was occupied. (This did wonders for my marks, and my attitude towards school, let me tell you).
