About Me
I've been actively playing Second Life since 2005-09-17. I'm very friendly, so feel free to say hello if you see me in-world. I enjoy socializing, and I always like making a new friend. If you have any questions, please let me know, and I'll be as helpful as I can be.
I have a little bit of experience with everything. I've built some, but I am by no means an expert of any sort, though I can help you with basic prim editing. I've dabbled in LSL a bit, but I may not be the best person to come to for questions on scripting. I do have experience with HTML and CSS, so if you have any questions there, I can probably help you out.
Don't Hassel the Hoff.
Real Life
My name is Sean Raines, and I live in Phoenix, Arizona. I am actually a native to Phoenix, which many people here find to be a rarity. Though some people don't like the heat, I enjoy it, unless I'm getting into my car. I am currently employed by the Apollo Group, the parent company of University of Phoenix. I work in technical support, so some of you may have spoken to me or will speak to me in the future! Hopefully, I won't have technical troubles with this class, or I'll have to call into support myself, which might be a bit embarrassing.
Prior to employment with the Apollo Group, I started out at Honeywell. There, I converted technical documents and blueprints into Adobe Acrobat files. After this, I worked at PetSmart in transportation department working with invoices and also tracking truck deliveries to the stores. Following that, I got into technical support for Cox Communications for the state of Arizona. Next, I moved to technical support for AT&T DSL and moved into order management for AT&T U-verse.
I currently live with my girlfriend, Samantha. All of her family lives in New Mexico, so it's not too bad to go for a visit. Most of my family lives in Phoenix. In fact, my father is also a Phoenix native. It's very nice to be close to my immediate family. In 2003, my grandmother remarried to her high school sweetheart. He had been deployed to Berlin after WWII. They did not meet back up until 2001. They lived in Arizona up until 2006, when they bought a 300 year old house located in New Hampshire.
My ultimate career goal is to get my Master's Degree in Business Management with a specialization in Information Technology. Currently, I am just starting work on my Bachelor's Degree in Information Technology with a specialization in Security. I would like to move forward in the Information Technology field, and I am trying to use that as a path of advancement within the Apollo Group. My current short-term career goal is to get my A+ Certification and move to the EDS department which is a group that works on the company's PCs. I will, however, miss talking to the students, like you, who call in every day.
My hobbies include computers (which may be obvious by now,) photography, bowling, off-roading, and quad-skating. I am a prolific photographer, and I have an online photo gallery with over 2,000 photographs in it. While my work is fairly amateur, I still enjoy spending the time and looking at the results. I also enjoy bowling, though I don't get many chances to do it lately; I'm also not very good at bowling, but that's not important when you're out with friends. I go off-roading with my truck with a group of friends from time to time through the deserts and washes located outside of Phoenix. Finally, I do go quad-skating from time-to-time. I am slowly improving, and it is a good workout. It's also a good way to spend time with friends.
