Me...Myself and I...!


So... you want to know a little bit about me...Huh...? And you want to know about those places that I have shown you on the Globe too...Huh...? Am I Right...? Well...if I wasn't right you wouldn't be here reading all this stuff...right?

OK ! I will tell you a little bit about me and about those places also!

I was born in Angola where I lived for about sixteen years. With the civil war, that broke up there in 1975, we (the family) moved to South West Africa, the country today called Namibia. Here we stayed about two years, time enough to realize that Angola would be at war for a long time. At this point the family decided to return to the land where they were originally from and start a new life there. So, with short stops in South Africa (Johannesburg), Zaire (Kinshasa) and Portugal (Lisbon) we arrived in the Azores Islands.

The time passed and six years went by.

My wings grew out, and when the time came I flew away. Because I had strong wings, I could fly all the way to California.

Here I started a new life. A lot of work during the day (40+hours weekly physical work; not desk and AC work) I enrolled in College, (evening classes which I paid for out of MY own pocket) and graduated. OK... it is only an AS in Engineering but it is better than nothing. And I'm still working towards registration. One day...!

I have been working for Lew-Garcia-Davis Civil Engineers Land Surveyors for the last six years. If you have anything better to offer me...click here.

Today, eleven years after the "wings" part... remember?... I live in Merced, Central California, with my "new" family: wife and five year old doughter.


Ooooooh...such a nice story...isn't it?
