Luxer Bios: Introduce yourself!

Lux Bios: The faces behind the names

A lot of us know each other on a screen-name basis, some of us know each other's real names and have a vague idea of who we are in the real world, but a lot of people don't really think about it while other people would enjoy getting to know other people, but alas they never get asked for one reason or another. Well, let's change that!

If you wish to let yourself be known to the world, then let's make a record of it! Don't let out any information that could be used in an irresponsible manner (i.e. your actual street address or your actual phone number), but also don't make up random things. This topic will simply be to get people a little closer and perhaps on a name basis rather than just "that guy"!


If you wish to be part of this, all it takes is something like this:

Name: Kevin
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Location: Virginia
Status: Single
Situation: Full-time college student studying Biochemistry!
A little about yourself: My name's Kevin, I play Eice on Lux of course. I'm currently attending college and majoring in Biochemistry! When I graduate I'm going to go into the medical research field, with hopes of getting my Master's and/or Ph.D. someday. I would love to help with the research on a cure for cancer, but we'll see where life goes. I'm the only child in my immediate family, but that doesn't bother me most of the time! I also owned a Corvette at the age of 18. Corvettes are an absolute obsession of mine and hopefully I will own more someday! I live on the eastern coast of Virginia and have been in the same house for the past 20+ years ... yay! I also love long walks on the beach! Haha.

Situation: 26 year-old who wishes he was still in college. Graduated from Indiana University in 2005 with 2 degrees (B.A. in Economics and B.S. in Kinesiology, emphasis Sport Management). I currently work for a minor league baseball team in California. I am the Director of Corporate Partnerships. Essentially I run the department that brings in advertising to the team. I am looking to go back to school in the fall of 2009 for my MBA. My dream job would be to own a major league baseball team. Realistically, I'd like to be a venture capitalist and invest my money into companies I feel I can help grow.

I was raised a Catholic and am the youngest of 6 kids, all from the same parents. I have 17 going on 18 nieces and nephews. So I enjoy having a big family. I was raised in Indianapolis Indiana and moved to California in 2006.

A little about myself: I am in the middle of my midlife crisis but I am getting used to it. I live in Malmö in the south of Sweden. Married since 8 yrs. We have three lovely daughters at 5, 9 and 12 yrs of age. And a dog. And a rabbit.
I wish I had more time to do all the good things in life (Lux doesn't really help me out about that so I will try to cut back a little on it). I like to travel, hang out with family and friends, play with my kids, listen to music (rock/punk/pop), watch good films or TV-shows, read books (serial killers is a strange fascination for me). I like watersports (diving, sailing, windsurfing) and big mountains (for skiing, hiking, climbing). Skiing is my passion in life and next trip is scheduled for Canada this winter. I play innebandy (floorball?) and I am a coach for my daughter's soccer team. And I like pie.
