I am here for Friends

About Me

.. in a nutshell: Husband, Dad, owner of two Basenji Dogs and vintage audio addict. Bucking tradition, my wife is the bread-winner, and I split my time between raising our daughter Sabrina, and bringing in extra $$Luckily, my jobs offer flexible schedules which allow me to spend time with my family. I design and install custom audio systems for commercial and residential use, I work seasonally as a construction apprentice for an 'old timer', and have my own handy-man business. I also have been worked in the photography field for over 15 years and work as a freelance photographer, focusing on portraits and events.Recently, I joined a gym after MANY years of not exercising - I can proudly say I'm in the best shape of my life, and could easily pass my old Army PT test.
