My name is Phillip Childs, and I am a 36 year old Married Christian Male, Member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. If you have questions about my faith and beliefs and my journey to the place I am at now, read my Testimony page and you can contact me directly from there. I have recently earned my Amateur radio license. My callsign is KJ4VFO Currently, I am in between contracts, Working on starting a computer services business. my last contract was as a Deskside support rep for IBM working at ATT. previously I was a work from Home computer tech for PlumChoice working on the Verizon Experts live help desk. Before that I worked as a computer Hardware Analyst for IBM/Lenovo in their Mobile Computer Support center, where I was a contract employee of Computer Generated Solutions. I am also a Freelance Professional Trombone/Tuba Player. I am currently playing Trombone with The Galloway Community Band. I played with The Callanwolde Community Band for many years prior to my dad's heart attack and quadruple bypass in 2005. I was either born with or developed soon after birth a condition called Hydrocephalus, which from the Greek Means "Water head." But By God's Grace I was born in the perfect time and place and was able to be treated for it effectively. I had a surgery at 1 year of age to implant my first Shunt. A Shunt is a device that drains fluid, in my case it drains fluid out of my head. The man that invented it died 12/22/2003 at the age of 87, I have posted his obituary here in tribute. At 3 years of age I received the Measles/Mumps/Rubella vaccine which attacked the shunt and it had to be replaced again. Then, amazingly I went 17 years before the shunt failed again. My Neurosurgeon, Dr Mark S O'Brien, Then chief of pediatric Neurosurgery at Egleston Hospital in Atlanta, Now called Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston. said that I had gone the longest of any of his patients without a revision. He was a phenomenal man and I wish him well in what ever he is doing now. He retired a couple of years after I turned 21. I thank God for every day I have to serve Him. I'm available for questions any time by e-mail
