Our Wedding Day
When I moved here for my Romanian-American Simona and we got married,I had to make a new career move due to a flooded media market. It was going to be Information Technology.
I am not really and activist. I do my thing,adding creativity and spice to the ideas and projects of my clients. But it is thiscreativity that is my life-long passion.
And it is with creativity in mind that I study fora degree in IT, focusing on Database-, and Web design and development.
I completed my first year at another university, and joined DePaul to continue my journey of education, while working for a security company as a shift supervisor.
thank you for watching…
