FORTITUDINE VINCIMUS!!! By endurance we conquer!! I love jousting, and wargaming, I have a beautiful Wife named Lorie that I love dearly, and we are having a daughter that is due on August 8th!!! Life is good, I have the best friends in the world, which I met when I became a jousting Knight for Noble Cause, before that, I didnt know what friendship really was, just fake friends. I am a Jousting Knight for Noble Cause Productions and very proud to be so. Friends for Life, and my brothers at arms. I am a huge Star Wars fan as well, I collect Star Wars action figures and Star Wars Miniatures, and I am also a wargamming fanatic, having a huge selection of painted wargamming miniatures such as 28mm Wargods of Aegyptus, 28mm Wargods of Olympus, 28mm Warhammer Fantasy (Tomb King only), 15mm Texas Revolution, 15mm Vietnam, 15mm Plains wars, 15mm Fantasy aka Lord of the Rings, Mithgar, and Hyborian Age. I also do 15mm Ancient Historical gaming as well. I was also a member of the 501st Stormtrooper Legion, known as "Dirty Tom", but I quit that business sometime back. Before all that, I was raised on a Horse ranch in Liberty Hill, Texas and eventually served my country after graduation in 1988-1992. I am a proud United States Marine Corps Combat Veteran of the First Gulf war, and proud to be an American and would still die for my country any given day, if I had to. In those days I was an Infantry Machinegunner. My son Shane of 19 yrs, is currently in the Army serving in the Infantry, and most likely will be ordered to Iraq for a tour of duty. Animals and especially Horses are my love as well, someday I plan on having a horse ranch, and move back out to the woods from which I came, and escape the choas of the big City. I live for that day, I hate the city. Im not very happy unless I am in the saddle riding.My Dad recently passed away from battling Cancer, and I miss him dearly, but atleast I was there and got to tell him good bye, I will never forget that week. I miss riding horses with him, and just being able to talk to him and see him. I learned alot from him about horses, and one day I will raise horses, but that is not for awhile. He never got to see me joust, but he did shoe the jousting horses, a few times. My dad was a horse shoer, or Farrier and alot of people think very highly of him and miss him. People called him a Horse Whisper, because he was so good with horses. He helped alot of people with there horses. I just miss him, dearly.My wonderful daughter Rhiannon was born on August 12th 2008 and has made my days so much brighter since she got here. Shes a little angel, and we are both blessed. Tom
