Michael Andersen’s Summary

I've been going to the gym regularly for about 10 years. As a swimmer I had an ~ 53 second time in the 100yd. freestyle at 4900 ft. altitude in 1985. I didn't graduate from high school until 1983 because I spent most of my time skiing at Alta, Utah. I play music professionally or at a virtuoso level and I would like to do concerts.

Michael Andersen’s Specialties:

I took up powerbuilding in California. I'm kind of mannerly compared to what people I met in Utah usually are. My music performance usually sounds good to where not recording it and presenting it in public is a bit of a horror in this community.

I really expected revenue from the music business at this time and couldn't get it so I cooked burgers for Ronald. After this, there is a long time between job situations because a doctor poisoned me because of a wicked stepmother who asked me if, "I thought I was going to die?" soon afterwards.

    I worked at the Main Street [exile] location and also at the South Temple location. I worked with John Lund and Fred Osterloh was the owner of the business - I used to swim with his son at the Fort Douglas Club. They did strange things like lock me in the refrigerator and an employee got me fired on a 20 cent charge of fooling with the hamburger meat because he was a retarded jerk.

Michael Andersen’s Education

  • University of Utah

    Exercise and Sport Science 19752008

    I've been going to this school since 1963. I'm used to how it looks and where it is. It's hard for me to stomach some of the new people because they are unfriendly and I think the Pretender band can be quoted as saying that the Utes are all stuck- up now.
    The stadium here used to be Rice Stadium and I knew the Rice family and used to ski with Rob frequently.

  • Salt Lake Community College

    AS , General Studies , 19941995

    Nancy Farmer timed me in the 100 free for the first time. I think it was 53 seconds.

    Activities and Societies:
    Swimming, Weights.
  • Provo High School

    graduation , GED , 19931993

    http://www.ush.utah.gov/schools.htm East Wood is the actual school

    www.provo.edu is where my high school transcript is kept

    Activities and Societies:
    Retarded activities. Society for poor taste.
  • Contra Costa College

    19801981

    Activities and Societies:
    I used to play the piano all day long while I was taking a class from Lenore Lundholm and while I took singing.
  • Utah State University

    general studies 19771979

    It was not a good experience for me to go to this school because I didn't enjoy hearing Keelee Wright. This was my first experience living away from home and living with Mr. Burton and his wife Keelee was not fun. They were so stuck up that there were serious problems with my family and I feel I was seriously harmed. The school is ok but from what I hear the people there are of the kind I don't like.

    Activities and Societies:
    I studied German History and met a person that looked exactly like Adolf Hitler.
  • East High School

    19721975
