Info: Derek Odom, 33 yrs old, college student and homeowner in Yucaipa, CA. Born in Colorado, moved to this cesspool in 1987 at the age of 12. I've been a nerd, a rebel, a success and a failure. *** Love is the answer, communication is the key ***

Education/Experience: TONS of college, no degree (yea, I'm THAT guy...)

Interests: I love chess, writing (heh), welding, building BMX bikes for kids, drumming, 4x4s, old American cars (MOPAR), camping, watching movies and QUIET time, to name a few. Alexander Alekhine was a chess genius, and KIMBO SLICE is a killing machine.

Motto: When the student is ready, the teacher will come.
