Some things about me

My name is Edwin H Gomez, i born in Bogotá Colombia in a June 19 and live in Fort Myers since 2001. I graduate from high school in my home town Bogotá, at that point i was a good basketball player, member of the school team and the national team of my age, after i graduate i was undecided of keep playing basketball or dedicate my time to go to the university , i spent a couple of years in that dilemma but finally i was able to combine my studies of business administration and my game, which become professional and thanks to the short basketball season in my country i was able to keep my studies and pay for it with my earnings. But two years after that i get a delicate injure in my back,  which make me retire from professional basketball, i spent like a year in recuperation then i come back to the school as a part time student and i find a full time job, who let me pay for my bachelor and my needs, during that time i met my wife and procreate two of my three kids.

Later in 2001 i have the opportunity to take a job in USA as exchange student for two years but whit my wife and kids still in Colombia. For personal reasons i decide to stay in the U.S. and made all the arrangements to bring my family whit me.  Finally in 2005 i settle and in 2007 my last child born and every thing was flowing in my life but i was still missing some thing, finish my bachelor, so i begin to dedicate all my efforts to make that happen and this year i was able to star ones again to try to conclude my degree, which this time is Resort and Hospitality Management,  is a specific application of my former bachelor and make a lot of scene for me because even before i come to the U.S,i was working in this field and now that my life is more stable i'm hoping to finish this stage with a lot of success.
