My Name is Sam. I’m 28 years old and live in California. Currently in Chico, CA, attending CSU Chico.
What do you do?
I attend classes at Chico State in the pursuit of a degree in Communications Design:Internet Communication. My minor is Management Information Systems, and I am also working towards a SAP Certification. I hope to use my lessons and experiences here at Chico State to propel me into getting a job doing User Experience, Web Development, or something Web oriented. Also, I hope to get a Masters related to Information Architecture, or a MLIS (Library Science) degree and rock the Library world with profound changes to shave libraries. Why MLIS? Because…
I am also an employee of the City of San Jose. I work at the West Valley Branch of the San Jose Public Library system. Its an awesome job, with awesome people. A little tedious shelving and checking-in books all day, but its definitely nothing that you can really complain about. I enjoy going into work and working with the people there, and I don’t feel stressed or burnt out when I leave, so I’m happy.
Anything else you do?
I play my Nintendo Wii, and hangout with my friends. Generally I’m trying to work on my own web projects and finish up a few other projects I’ve been contracted to do.
My current passion is Running. My friend Romano recruited me to run a 10k in July of 2007, and I’ve been hooked ever since. To date, I have run six 10ks, one 1/4 Marathon, and three 1/2 Marathons. My goal for this year is to do complete a full Marathon, namely the California International Marathon, but sadly my last semester is taking so much out of me.
