Christine, a (former) American Bartender

Hi. I am "Liberty". Some friends refer to me as "Dotcom", or  "The Love Guru" of the web.


I was born in Salt Lake City, Utah. I have 3 brothers; Bonner, Chuck, and the baby of the family, Kerry.  My mother is Barbara Jean Moore Wilson. My father is Norman K. Wallace, who worked for the Air National guard, and is now retired.  My parents divorced in 1969 and my mother remarried Neil Wilson, who has been like a real father to me. My father remarried Sheila.

I attended Cottonwood High School, until I became a child bride at the  age of 16.   At the age of 17, I gave birth to my first child, Sonny Marlin Taylor.  He worked very hard on his degree in architecture at the Salt Lake Community College.  On August 16, 1997 Sonny was involved in a fatal car accident.  He was returning from a scuba dive trip with his fiancé' Christina, when the front tire of his truck blew out, causing the truck to flip.  Sonny was not wearing his seat-belt, and as a result, sustained serious brain stem injuries when he was thrown from the truck. Sonny was a "born-again" Christian and went home to be with his lord 4 hours after the accident.

My second child, Luke Taylor, currently lives in Las Vegas, Nevada.  Luke works as the parts manager of Dirt Addictions in Las Vegas, Nevada.   Luke loves to race motocross and cars.

My first divorced was in 1979. I worked as a hostess in a fine dining English restaurant. I began my bartending career in 1979, when the regular bartender didn't show up for work. I was placed at the bar and baptized by fire. To my delight and surprise my income increased 10 fold!!! Thereafter, the popularity of the film "Saturday night fever" produced a demand for Disco clubs, providing ample opportunities for a bartender to earn substantial income.

For 10 years I worked the "Disco" circuit of nightclubs; "The Study" at Ramada Inn, "The Prohibition", "The 13th floor" at the TriArc Travelodge, "Downunder Club", and "Room at the Bottom" at the Salt Lake Hilton Hotel.

While working nights, I studied barbering at the Salt Lake Community College. I worked 6 years styling hair. I drove a school bus for Utah Schools for the Deaf and Blind for 6 years.  I graduated with a Bachelors degree from the University of Utah in June of 96; completing an internship at Salt Lake County Youth Services and TURN community services.   remarried my best friends X-husband (BIG mistake) in 1990. Our marriage ended in '92.

I left the bar business in July of 1998 to start an online business. In January of 98, I took an Internet Navigator Course in my final quarter at the University of Utah. This was the beginning of an exciting milestone which has given me a vehicle to accomplish my goals of financial freedom doing what I love!  I am the co-owner of Advanced Internet Micro., a web design and development firm. My brother, Kerry Wallace who lives in Recife Brazil is my partner. 

On August 1993, I finally met my true soulmate and love of my life through a local matchmaking service.  Clyde Gephart responded to the profile I created (in order to win a marketing contest sponsored by a local "singles" club).  The events that unfolded the day we met was amazingly coincidental, so we both decided it was "meant to be".  We fell in love (or lust?) at first sight.  We moved to Las Vegas, Nevada in 2003 to escape the harsh winter climate in Salt Lake City. Shortly afterwards were married in a "Las Vegas Style" wedding chapel (so romantic). We've been inseparable best friends for more than 10 years!

I hope you enjoy your visit to my site, and return again soon!
