Garrett Gene Bowers... "Dad" at home... "Gary" at work.  I'm a transplant from Alaska.  My wife, Judy is a Californian (she was actually born in Connecticut, but doesn't want anyone to know - so I won't tell you).  I can't seem to get her to go to Alaska because "its too cold!"  Kimberly and Michael were born in Riverside, CA.  Michael and I took a Trip To Alaska several years ago.  Michael says, "I got to see every house Dad ever lived in!" as he rolls his eyes.  He liked the rest of it though.

I can never thank my mother or my sister enough for that trip.  Being able to show my son where I grew up gave me such a "rush!"  And the trip to Seward, and then through the Kenai Fjords was incredible!  It was an experience neither Michael nor I will ever forget.  Thanks Mom and Merrianne!  You're the best!!   NOTE:  Alaska Trip story and pictures in work... be sure and come back to see! 

I'd have more pictures of the family here, 'cept Judy wishes to remain anonymous (the police are looking for her) and Michael, my 14 year-old son, has spiky hair and might scare you.  But, once the law quits looking for Judy, and Michael gets over the spiked hair phase, I'll see what I can do.

My Family
 
My  wife, Judy, to whom I've been married 17 years.  Daughter Kimberly (12 going on 22) and Son Michael (15), "The Student."  Both Kimberly and Michael attend Christian Schools.  Kimberly has recently discovered boys to my chagrin!  Michael wants a new Mustang - HA!  Both are obviously dreamers.
 
Computers
I'm a computer fanatic, geek, or "Guru" if you can believe the people at work.   I fell in love with computers and computing in 1986 (the "DOS" world!) and have been fascinated ever since.  I enjoy not only learning new stuff, but teaching others.  I get a kick out of seeing people's eyes light up when something I teach them works.  I've applied for a part-time teaching position at Antelope Valley College and may even develop a business helping people... we'll see.  See my Guru page.
Other
Genealogy,  reading (Tom Clancy, Robert Ludlum, Computer Magazines), watching Discovery and History Channels.  I've been a "Trekkie" from the very beginning.   I enjoy making things with wood... except the garage is such a mess, I can't find my tools!  Dancing, exercise (when I can force myself), going to shows with my wife, taking the kids to school, helping Kimberly with her homework (sometimes!).
