ello, my name is Jim Baudanza, and here is a little bit about myself:

     My first exposure to Scientology, like for so many others, was reading, using and liking the book, Dianetics - The Modern Science of Mental Health. The book just made plain sense. Sure there were a lot of new words but the processes and information contained in it worked. And they worked for everyone in the same way - they got better, more able, saner you might say. This was true for me and all my friends that read the book and applied the techniques. The road was paved and I was on it. I wasn't quite sure where it was heading or where I was heading, but each step of the way, I felt more alive than the step before. Somewhere along the line, Dianetics turned into Scientology. You see Dianetics deals with the person, the mind, the body and if you peel away enough of the negative emotion contained in the reactive mind, lo and behold you discover that there is something else there. That something else is you, a spiritual being that has a body and a mind. So it was a natural progression that by the time it happened, just plain made sense.

     I currently own and operate ARCCOMP, a successful PC Sales and Service Company in Phoenix, Arizona. It has grown to service hundreds of customers and thousands of PCs in the greater Phoenix area.

     Funny, Scientology was actually born here in Phoenix. Mr. Hubbard first determined that man was a spiritual being right here just a few years before I was able to make that discovery for myself. And that is the best thing about being a Scientologist, you find these things out on your own. You might say, based on these discoveries, I was re-born here in Phoenix.

      I am married with two children. My lovely wife, Rhonda is a key player in the business as well as being a wonderful, full-time mom. My son J.J. is 5 years old and my daughter Alicia is 6 years old. They try to be key players in the business, but it may be a few years before they are very productive. We all share common interests, computers occupy most of our time, but when we have a free minute or two, we like to travel, play sports of all types, and get Scientology training.

      So, that is my story. You know how I got involved in Scientology and how it has helped me. Now, what is your story going to be. Thank you.
