ALL ABOUT DEX

Well -- what would you like to know about me? It's too bad this page couldn't be more interactive, then you could ask me the questions you want! I guess I'll just start at the beginning --

I was born June 14, 1966 (I look younger than I really am) in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I grew up in with a younger brother, younger sister, and dog in Sherwood Park which is about 10 km east of Edmonton. I spent my whole life in Sherwood Park playing every sport imaginable until university when I went to Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (out on the west coast). At SFU I took a Bachelor of Business Administration majoring in accounting and minoring in finance/sociology/criminology. More importantly to me at that time was I was playing rugby at SFU! In my third year of university I tore some ligiments in my right knee. While getting routine bloodwork I discovered that I had Diabetes Mellitis. After my diagnosis, instead of returning to school after a few semesters off, I began a work carreer at an international trust company where I worked in mutual fund/pension trust administration. Eventually, I was transferred back to Edmonton and unfortunately, laid off a few years later due to the company's demise. By this time (1991), I had already been married almost 5 years and had a son, Mitchell,who was born earlier that year. Worked various jobs for a few years until my divorce in June, 1994. I consider myself blessed that my ex and I are still friends today and that I can spend alot of time with my son who is the world to me!!!!!!

I recently moved back to Edmonton from Jasper, Alberta, Canada. I just loved living there!!! It is definately one of the most beautifull places I have ever been on Earth.


I mean who wouldn't want to live in the Rocky Mountains? I'm sure some of you wouldn't but for those like me who LOVE the mountains, it's hard to imagine anything better!!!

Since June, 1995, I've had some health problems that have resulted in a below-knee amputation of my left leg. This happened on March 21, 1997. Of course I'm still as pig-headed and stubborn as always so this will not stop me -- it may slow me down for a little while -- but never stop me!!! I see this as a new challenge and opportunity for me. Being that I am a Gemini as per Western Astrology, and born in the Year of the Horse as per Chinese Astrology, you will see that challenges and opportunities are what I thrive on!

There is some GREAT information on the Internet and I'm sure I don't know where it ALL is, but here are a few links to get you started.

Amputation - The Online Magazine For Amputees
ACA - Amputee Coalition of America
War Amps of Canada
CripWorld
Canadian Diabetes Association
Juvinile Diabetes Foundation International
The Mining Company - Diabetes

As for anything else about me; how I see things, what I think and feel, etc..., please see my "Six Cycles of Life" page, which sort of explains what I'm all about.
