Chad

The best compliment I ever had was when I was told that I am just like my Dad.

About Me

I am 48 years young - never been married and have no kids (neither of which was intended). I am a Univ of Texas Graduate - Engineering. I spent 2 years in Engineering and then went into High Tech Sales. I did very well but left due to a terminal family illness in 1997. In 1998 me and my best freind (fellow UT ME) decided to form a Drag Racing Team and began construction on the first car in late 1998. Unfortunetly, I was involved in a near death racing accident in 2001 that resulted in a 4.5 year delay. But now we are back! I recently moved back to Dallas, Texas from California. We hoped to be racing in 2007 but our sponser did not come through. So we will continue with construction of the initial car and prepare for next season. We will race Division 4 which includes Texas, Oklohoma, Louisiana and a bit of Tennesee. I am chasing my dream with this race team, but the time, energy and financial commitment is tremendous and will affect any relationship. P. S. The cutie in my pics is my neice, Aleah.

My Interests

Spirituality (I am Christian), Racing (It's my Dream), Music (It speaks to my soul), Health (I take care of my body), Reading (I Love to learn), Animals (they are more loyal and easier to deal with than some adults).

I'd like to meet:

People with similar interests or passions. Particularly people who are courageous, commited and compassionete. Racing is of course a plus but not a requirement. Also, if you want to add me as a friend, please first send me a message first telling me a bit about yourself.

Music:

I like almost anything except RAP. Some of my favorite groups are Metalica, AC/DC, Eric Clapton, Annie Lenox, Tom Petty and even Enya. My favorite 5 songs are as follows: 1. My Father's Eyes (Eric Clapton) 2. Simple Man (Skynard) 3. Fuel (Metalica) 4. Money Can't But It (Annie Lennox) 5. Low Spark of High Heeled Boys (Traffic).

Movies:

Don't watch that many movies but my all time favorite has to be Billy Bob Thorton in Slingblade. A couple of others I liked were Richard Farnsworth in The Strait Story, or Travolta in Michael. Also the 3 stooges with Curly (nurk, nurk, nurk).

Television:

Rarely watch with the exception of Motorsports and PBS.

Books:

Yes. I like most books when I have the time to read. I like non-fiction more than fiction. I've allways been a history buff but am getting into theology recently. I'd rather read a book than watch a sitcom. The Bible is my number one book of course followed closely by National Dragster.

Heroes:

Harold Hale (Pop),John Force, Blaine Johnson, Mark Martin, Shirley Muldowney, Winston Churchhill, Jesus Christ.
