Lake Whatcom · Commenting Since Mar 22, 2021
I've been living in Bellingham since Feb 2011 and love it. I have spent 30 years doing Mac and Pc repairs in my biz. My degrees are in Economics and Political Science from UCF in Orlando, and part at FSU. In the beginning, I worked in my academic field for 3 years for the FL State Labor Dept while going to FSU but found it and the field, in the real world to be too bureaucratic for me; so I slowly switched to computer programming and repairs and been happy ever since. A few months after I moved here I found my place at Lake Whatcom and love the beautiful trees, mountains, lakes and the bay. What an incredible place to live! I thank the Creator everyday for being in this awesome place.
