My name is Antonio Edward, former name Antonio Allah and Anthony Lowry (Don't ask!).
Married Life
I am married to a beautiful woman, Serenity. We met online on September 1, 2000 and asked to marry her on the 10th. We met for the first time in Atlanta, GA on November 3, 2000. Our wedding was in the court house on March 20, 2001 and have been happily married ever since. She is the best thing that has ever happened to me and love her with all of my heart.

Career
Before joining the Army on March 22, 2001, my career as a professional video editor at Hollywood Digital and City of Long Beach Telecommunications Department has taught me a lot throughout the years. Video editing is my life and love it dearly. Music is JUST a hobby. Becoming a professional musician is definitely not my style. I now work at the University of Phoenix / Apollo Group, Inc. as a Staff Technical Support and Student Technical Support agent.
I joined the Army from March 2001 to October 2006 as an Apache Mechanic AH-64A and D. I vacationed in Baghdad International Airport, Iraq for 15 months in 2003 and 2004. Yeah right, vacations, more like ordered to Iraq for 15 months. It sucked.
Why I Love Viddler
I love sound and video. Surround Sound is very important to me when creating videos to totally immerse the audience into the action. Most of my video projects are mixed using the Dolby Digital AC-3 5.1 surround sound codec. Unfortunately, when I upload it to YouTube or Google Video, the videos on these sites are only monophonic which is so 1950's. Viddler is in stereo which is bad azz and the video quality is the best on the web. I still use my YouTube account but since I've discovered Viddler, I hardly mention YouTube anymore to anyone.
I am on Viddler all the time a lot more so than any other site. It is an awesome community. The staff here are great. They actually reach out to the community.
