Who are you?<\/h2>\n

My name is Rustin Jessen, and as it says in the sidebar of this site, I really am just a guy living out a dream.<\/p>\n

I hail from a smallish town in Utah about 25 miles north of Salt Lake City called Kaysville. It was a fantastic place to grow up and I’d like to raise children in a place like it some day. I have a mother & father, three older sisters, four nephews, two nieces, two brothers in law, and a dog who all live within walking distance of each other back home.<\/p>\n

What do you do? <\/h2>\n

I’m a Disney Cast Member. \"Disney<\/p>\n

I am Disney enthusiast at heart. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m as passionate about the magic now as I have ever been. I care a great deal about each guest that visits any of our properties, and it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s very important to me that they walk away with wonderful memories that will last a lifetime.<\/p>\n

Why the blog?<\/h2>\n

A long time ago I was a geek working as a small business IT consultant, it just made sense that I would wire myself up with a domain to display all my little bits-n’-bobs made for the online world. I am still a geek at heart but the form in which it manifests itself has changed quite a bit. I took a large leap back into the entertainment industry that changed my lifestyle quite a bit. I was rarely online and this domain saw only email traffic for many many months.<\/p>\n

In July of 2004 I hopped on the blog bandwagon (I was a late bloomer). I ran across a little web app called WordPress<\/a> that set me free. So great… I had a site, and a nice way to publish to it, but what did I have to say? Everything finally fit together when I needed an option to save money on my phone bills. You see, I was spending many hours on the phone with friends and family telling them of the fun new things I was doing since moving to Southern CA to work for Disney. I post to this blog primarily to keep those I know and love abreast of my exploits.<\/p>\n

Along the way, a few strangers have chimed in on a comment form here and there. But overall this is just a spot for people who know me to know more.<\/p>\n

Jac, this section is for you<\/h2>\n

For the purposes of just being groovy, and making sure you know exactly what you are reading… This is a personal blog of someone who doesn’t not in any way consider himself a writer. I can’t spell or punctuate correctly. I will often use the wrong forms of words (to vs. too) while posting about my random life happeneings.<\/p>\n

I do these things not because I don’t understand the rules, but becuase I really don’t care about them. I usually type just like I talk, and that doesn’t leave much room for copy-editing.<\/p>\n

Please feel free to point any errors out to me in the comments or with an email, I won’t feel bad and I’ll to my best to correct them. I can’t afford to lose readers over a comma or two! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
