Hello, my name is Cody. I stand six feet tall; have red hair, blue eyes, and a mostly athletic build. Some would call me a Renaissance man. I can cook Coconut Cream Macaroons, Pad Thai and other delectables at a moments notice. I fix things that are broken and improve things that are not. Heck, I even clean sometimes. To satisfy the Alaskan in me, when in the woods, I build fires without using Sterno logs, and always carry extra layers.
I grew up in Juneau and went to Juneau Douglas High School. I was one of the few to stay in the Phoenix Program for all four years. Phoenix allowed me the benefits of a more self-directed learning. It is a technology oriented, project based program designed to fit a more “real-world” concept of working in teams to achieve some goal.
Growing up, I became involved in the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program also. It has been a significant element in my life. I now support them as a Statewide Board Member, local leadership council member, and donor.
I work for UAS Help Desk. If you’ve called, we may have talked before, and now you can see a face with the voice. If we haven’t met yet, then by all means introduce yourself – I love meeting new people!
Ultimate Frisbee is my sport of choice, though I’m growing in my enjoyment of volleyball. I’m the club advisor for Ultimate on campus, and usually find myself involved with the summer league too. I like to hike fast, bike through the mud, and — though I can’t bring myself to say that I really like it — I run. If it gives you any insight about me, my running is usually only once a year in the Klondike Road Relay, and I think training is overrated.
My passion for photography has been rekindled with the purchase of a digital SLR (my prior camera had broken a few years back). I now do what I can to make some money with my pictures so that I can purchase new equipment. If you’d like to peruse or purchase, see http://photos.codyjbennett.com. Check it out!
Future goals include many things, some tangible, others more abstract. I look forward to being an awesome husband, father, friend and coach. I enjoy being an unknown philanthropist, anonymously financing projects, endowments and other things like a super-hero of sorts. I don’t like the lime-light unless it serves the greater good (I don’t really like extra attention). I like the idea of a being a present day Bruce Wayne — a regular fellow by day, and fighting the evil of the world by night. (Don’t expect any capes or masks though, I’m not a big Halloween fan, despite the IT videos that have been posted.)
I am passionate about empowering people to help them realize their own potential, and greatly desire to make a difference rather than a living.
Drop me a line sometime – isn’t that what the Internet is for?!
