About
My name is Joshua Griffin. I am 40 years old. I am married with a 10 year old daughter. I would love to find a full-time job in Germany or Austria and bring my family, but have no idea where to start... I spent 4 years in Darmstadt, Germany when I was active duty Army. I was a Network administrator with a tactical communications unit. I loved everything about Europe. The people, the lifestyle, the culture... I spent most of my free time away from the "tourist" areas, while focusing on the quaint reaches of western Europe. This gave me a true representation of European life. I particularly enjoyed talking with the older natives (with my German dictionary of course!). Returned to US in 2000. I worked in IT as a civilian for a sort time, but didn't fair well at 25 years old because I didn't sit still for very long. At which time, I started framing condo units and loved it. I have been in the construction/ repair business (residential) ever since. Still fit, but too busy. I wish were more involved in exercise and sports. Would love to own my own "mom and pop" type of establishment in a small town, so I can run it long after retirement...
