Proud Father!

I'm a dad!!!

About Me

I always feel funny writing these things...never know quite what to say! If you're reading this, then you already know a little about me, so whats the point!? To start, I'm a soldier in the Army. I returned home from Iraq in January of 2006. Spending 12 months over there makes you realize a lot about life. In August, I finished my medical training in San Antonio. Its always been my dream to be able to help people, and now am a Nationally Registered EMT. I'm also studying to become a personal trainer. After this whole Army thing is done, (whenever thats going to be!) I'm planning on opening my own gym. Last January I married my beautiful wife Ashley. She is the best thing thats happened to me...I honestly dont know what I'd do without her by my side. We're expecting a girl (Scotlyn Ashley Ford) in March of this year!!
