Allow me to introduce myself

[Dwight Schr-ute]

Hi. My name is Dwight Schr-ute. But I prefer Gareth Keenan.

I grew up in the shadow of Rice Stadium, went through rebellious delinquency where I cheered for BYU to spite my father, was a classic Utah commuter for several years trying to figure out what I wanted to be when I grew up and eventually finished up at Utah State with a degree in Fisheries and Wildlife.

Got married and immediately moved my new bride to Las Vegas where we almost immediately started a little family. We've been here for almost 5 years and I doubt it will ever really feel like home. I crave mountains with trees taller than me.

Prior to kids, I was an avid cyclist, a music snob, a movie snob, and a food snob. Now I'm skinny fat, listen to songs sung by princesses, watch cartoons, and eat whatever takes 5 minutes to throw together.

I love camping, hiking, photography, and writing. Some how I found a career that pays me to do all of the aforementioned. So far in my career I have worked with 12 threatened or endangered species.

Active LDS. Democrat. Paradigm crusher. Non-sink pisser. Ute fan.

I'd now like to open the floor to any questions.

What part of Vegas do you live in? I moved here from Sandy this week in May 2006, so its been an even 5 years for me.

What do you do with a Fisheries and Wildlife degree?

I also prefer Gareth. "Gareth Keenan in the area!"

[BigPiney]

Please move to Bishop, Ca. Except for the Ute part you would fit in perfectly here. We have real mountains.

Welcome. We have been needing an assistant to the regional manager on this board.

Summerlin. Essentially Charleston and the 2-15.

What do you do with a Fisheries and Wildlife degree?

My emphasis is fish biology and have specialized in endangered desert fishes. I currently work for the Southern Nevada Water Authority, which is why we moved here. Which probably doesn't answer your question well. Mostly I deal with the management and conservation of species. There's an endangered fish called the razorback sucker that lives in Lake Mead that I work closely with.

As far as camera equipment (Sorry, haven't figured out how to quote multiple people in the same post yet.) I'm a Canon man and have a 20D and a first series 1D. Both need serious upgrading.

Never been to Bishop but had a friend climb the big mountain over there last fall. I almost made it on that trip.

Assistant Regional Manager?!

[Jeff Lebowski]

Terrific intro. Welcome aboard.

[Jeff Lebowski]

Just curious: someone invite you here or did you just find us?

NorthwestUteFan sent me. I would have credited him in my registration, but alas, the man has many aliases among many places.

P.S., nice site. Thanks for hosting.

Lebowski is sort of our michael scott, so I suppose you are required to be nice to him. But that doiesnt mean the redst of us have to like it.

Welcome!

[NorthwestUteFan]

Welcome! Glad you made it. We could use more bicyclists around here...

Dwight Schr-UTE and kind of I hit it off because we went to the same mission, though we didn't quite overlap. He's a good dude and I'm glad to see him here.

I'm guessing you two are actually brothers. Its the 6'6" bit that tipped me off.

Be nice hylobate, he can categorize and taxonomize you.

Yup, because LOTS of brothers go to the same mission, right?

Actually we aren't related, and have not met in person. If I was a few months younger we would have met at the mission home (me leaving, him coming).

[Commando]

Welcome! Assuming you'd been lurking for a bit before you took the plunge, just a couple questions: 1. Who are your favorite posters? 2. Who would you really put as dwight and the rest of the cast of the office in terms of posters on this board?

[Commando]

And did you cheer for Jimmer/BYU Hoops this year? Be honest.

So you met on Ute Fans, or what? How did you hit it off without meeting?
