Everywhere I’ve Lived

With all the travelling I’ve been doing lately, I’ve had a lot of people ask me where I’m from or where I grew up. Sometimes this is a tough question to answer because I move around so much. That’s why I’m providing a list of everywhere I’ve ever lived throughout my life. Next time someone asks, they’ll have to visit Fixpert if they want an answer:

  1. In Utero – Ft. Ord, California
  2. Born – Ft. Benning, Georgia, during the family relocation from CA to KY
  3. 0-2 yrs – Ft. Campbell, Kentucky
  4. 2-3 yrs – Hiedelberg, Germany
  5. 4-5 yrs – Osterholz Scharmbeck, Germany
  6. 5-7 yrs – Ft. Meade, Maryland
  7. 7-9 yrs – Westlake Village, California
  8. 9-17 yrs – Williamsburg, Virginia
  9. 17-21 yrs – Richmond, Virginia
  10. 21-23 yrs – Charlottesville, Virginia
  11. 23-24 yrs – Brooklyn, NY
  12. 24-25 yrs – Richmond, Virginia
  13. 25-27 yrs – Charlottesville, Virginia
  14. 27-28 yrs – Richmond, Virginia
  15. 28-30 yrs – Los Angeles, California
  16. 30 yrs – present – San Francisco, California

You can see that Virginia accounts for at least 18 years — more than any other place. I should create a list of all the apartments I’ve ever lived in, it’s got to be at least 24 just in the last 10 years, seriously.
