My name is Chad Mauk and I am 28 years old. I have a B.A. degree in Journalism from Arizona State University. I also have an A.A.S degree in Fire Science Technology and an A.A. degree from Glendale Community College. I was a firefighter for about three years, but then decided to go back to school to get my baccalaureate degree. I am currently an IT professional and have worked in the industry for the last three and half years. I just recently became A+ certified on May 4, 2007. I enjoy scuba diving, camping, traveling, and working on my house. I am married with no kids and I have three pit bulls named Dochka, Piva, and Sobaka. Their names mean little girl, beer, and dog in Russian. I studied Russian for about four years and can read and write it fairly well, but my speaking skills have declined because I do not have anybody in my life at this point that I can speak Russian with on a continuous basis. I have traveled extensively in my short 28 years on this earth. I have been to around 20 states in the U.S., Vancouver BC (twice), Mexico (several times), Taiwan (twice), Paris, and London. As far as the journalism part of my background goes, the only article that I have ever had published can be found here: http://www.azcentral.com/specials/special01/0528bolles-injuries.html I also have an interest in photography. I took a year of photography in high school, a semester of it at Glendale Community College, and a full year of photojournalism at ASU.
