Barbara Cooper Steele

Family:
  I currently live in a house on 20 acres in Pennsylvania with my 7 year old son, Cody. We have 2 cats, a hen and 2 horses (a 28 year old Thoroughbred and an 8 year old Appendix Quarter Horse).
Career:
  I left Fallon just prior to my 10th Grade year and moved to New Jersey, but I consider Fallon my home town. After graduation, I spent just under 2 years traveling with the carnival. From there, I ended up in Northern NJ, where I attended business school. Spent a few years as an Executive Secratary, along with a 1-1/2 year job in Southern California after my mom passed away (she had been living in Laguna Beach). Then back to NJ where I started taking computer classes while working various odd-jobs (bakery, nursing home, etc). Worked at a large engineering firm as a Systems Analyst for 7 years, then a telecom company as a Help Desk Manager for 3-1/2 years. I'm currently working as a contractor--managing a client's Information Services Help Desk, which supports approximately 6,000 users and over 50 different applications.
Hobbies:
  Aside from being busy with my career, I enjoy competing in Equestrian events and raising my 7 year old son. I've been legally separated for 3 years and recently purchased my own home, which keeps me very busy. Can't wait to see some old friends from 9th Grade!
