I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Names Daniel Vaughn. Most of my friends & buddies in the fire service know me as GIMP, due to spinal miningitis I suffered at birth. I am 23 yrs old about 5'7" 150pds. Dirty blonde hair w/ hazel green eyes, just ur average good ole country man from TN. I am happily engaged to a VERY BEAUTIFUL woman named Erin(soon to be Mrs Vaughn). She is the one woman that really knows how to make me smile and I wouldn't want to trade her for anything or anyone in this World. I currently work at Wal-Mart as an electronics specialist, Im also a volunteer firefighter with Henderson Co. Stat. 2 in Lexington, Tn. I joined the fire dept. after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 cuz, I wanted to help make a difference in peoples lives. This country has done so much for me over the many yrs I've lived here and I felt it was time to give something back. I have been in the fire service for about 5yrs now and luv my job very much. Most people I meet ask me why I volunteer? that im risking my life for nothing. Well, the answer is simple. I luv serving my community and I get great pride out of helping people. I dont need a paycheck to tell me that im doing somthing great in life. I consider myself to be a very outgoing person, I luv to have fun, party w/ my friends and meet new ppl. I am one of the select few in the World that would gladly give my life to protect my friends, family or a complete stranger, without question. If u like what u read and would like to chat, drop me a line sometime.Background by EditingMySpace.com
