I WAS BORN TO SHARON ALECKNEVICZ AND CARLTON RAY BRACKEN ON OCTOBER 29TH 1971 IN REDLANDS CALIFORNIA. I COME FROM A FAMILY OF HARD WORKING FAMILIES. I AM SPECULATING A LITTLE WHEN IT COMES TO MY FATHER'S SIDE OF THE FAMILY. NEVER TO GOOD OF FAMILY TIES BUT ANYWAY, MY GRANDFATHER BRACKEN WAS A TRUCK DRIVER IN LONG HAUL BUSINESS WHERE HE WAS AN OWNER OPERATER FOR PARKER REFRIGERATED. AS FAR AS MY GRANDFATHER ALECKNEVICZ HE WAS A STEEL WORKER IN THE KAISER CORPORATION BEFORE THEY WENT BANKRUPT. MY MOTHER IS A VERY GOOD WOMAN WHO I AM VERY PROUD OF AND SINCE SHE HAD ME WELL "MY EGO" FORGOES ME.
I STARTED OUT IN THE METAL TRADES HERE IN WASHINGTON STATE IN THE EARLY 1990'S. I WENT THROUGH AN APPRENTICESHIP IN THE BOILERMAKER'S UNION AND WORKED AT TODD SHIPYARD, LAKE UNION DRYDOCK AND A FEW OTHER OF THE LOCAL SHIPYARDS AND STRUCTURAL STEEL SHOPS. THEN IN THE LATER 1998 I JOINED THE IRONWORKER'S LOCAL UNION 86 IN THEIR APPRENTICESHIP AND HAVE BEEN WITH THEM EVER SINCE THEN.
I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL "FAWN" COLORED RED NOSE PIT BULL "KADO" WHO IS MY LITTLE BABY AND COMPANION WHO I LOVE VERY MUCH I HAVE TO CALL HIM "THE PIT BOSS".
ME AND HIM HAVE HAD OUR ADVENTURES.
WELL BACK TO STORY. WHEN THE ECONOMY STARTED TO GO BAD EARLY 2009 WORK AT HALL STARTED TO GET GRIM AND I THOUGHT OF GOING BACK TO COLLEGE TO GET A FURTHER EDUCATION IN THE I.T. FIELD FOR COMPUTERS AND ETC. I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE IT WILL LEAD ME BUT I AM GOING TO APPLY THESE SKILLS INTO MY IRONWORKING CAREER BECAUSE IF I START MY OWN BUSINESS OR EVEN AS AN IRONWORKER FOREMAN AND MANAGEMENT COMPUTERS ARE A NEW TOOL IN TODAY'S CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY AND I WANT TO LEAVE THE STONE AGE!!!
SO I THANK ALL OF MY WEB DEVELOPEMENT GROUPIES!
GOD BLESS EVERYONE!!
AND THANK YOU MR. AL BOSS
