About Me

Bio:
My name is Dave Peltier and am in my 3rd year of post-secondary education but this is my 1st at the U of L. Im from Medicine Hat, just 1 1/2 hrs down scenic Hwy 3! I am 22 years old and enjoy playing hockey, golf, and the odd poker game outside of school. I enjoy metal/hardcore/screamo music, whatever you want to call it, and of course I like to hang out with friends and put a couple back on a saturday night!

Aspirations:
I received a diploma in accounting from the Medicine Hat College and chose to work for a couple years before attending the U of L. I only came here since it's close to home and affordable to live here. I have changed my major to finance but the classes are basically identical for an accounting or finance degree. Of course I chose this path because it interests me but there is an underlying motive to pursueing a career in finance. With a professional designation of some sort I can work in the United States without becoming a citizen. I really would like to live and work in the U.S. but also have the flexibilty to come back here whenever I like. I would like to get into investments, possiblly a funds manager or something, we'll see when Im done at the U.
In this new media course I really just wanted to become familiar with the programs we'll be using, and hopefully use them in the future.

Technical Skills:
I have used basic photo editiing programs and made a web page, but never used any of the programs like photoshop and dreamweaver and I do have a digital camera.
