I am Marcel "Takamo" Neau. (pronounced like NO)

I currently reside in Austin Tx. where I am a Hardware Failure Analyst for the OEM computer industries. I find out why hardware doesn't work and give suggestions on how to correct.

I am called a Jack of all trades. I have been known to be a master of many due to my semi-photographic memory. I have been to school for auto mechanics, culinary arts, and I hold an AD in wildlife biology.

I was a corporate chef for MHM and specialize in Pastries and breads, although I can do most anything in the kitchen except for dishes and cleaning up after myself! I attended Le Cordon Bleu, France and the Culinary Arts Institute Of America, New York. I also grew up in a french bakery in Florida.

In the Army, I was a Forward observer and a Personnel Management specialist. I was injured in the line of duty and retired early with a slight disability.

I am currently married with three children. This is my third wife, and four mariages. (I was dumb enough to marry my first, twice) In all, I have 7 step-children ranging from 16 to 32 and I have 12 grandchildren. (pretty good for being 44!) I have one of my own with my wife and he is 6.

I have alot of expieriance with kids and the crazy stuff they can get into. Most of my wife's friends call on me for advice on topics from boyfriends to how to cook a great meal for that special someone.

I have found a new sounding board in Wikianswers for many questions that I have personaly expierianced my self, and I think that I can shed some light on for those that asked. I love to read some of the answers, and have, at times, had a great laugh at a few!

My hobbies include; Hunting, fishing, camping, inventing. I love to get down in the dirt with my 6 year old son and play with his cars and trucks! (Shoot! they didn't make toys like these in my days!) I love military books. Dale Brown is my favorite writer. I have started to write my own military thriller based on my own career. (Don't worry....I am exagerating and adding a few fictional things to spruce it up!)

Drop me a line if you want! I love to meet new people when ever I can and if I can address your own questions on Wiki, I will do so as I can. Just remember that you have to post them on Wkianswers first because I may not have the best answer for you and others can read and perhaps add to or edit my answer for you!

Thanks for reading my bio, and I'll see you in the posts!
