The ship is sinking!

About Me

My full name is John William Mosley. I was born on 1/15/1979 in Reno, Nevada to Dan and Rhonda Mosley. I am their only son, of 5 children. I am a middle child. I grew up for 7 years in McDermitt, Nevada and the rest around the Reno area. Currently I live in Ely, where I have lived for the past 6 years, but am in the process of moving back to Reno with my wife, Jessica. I have been in two bands, I love food, music, children, geology, plants, and philosophy. I believe in God, but I am not a "traditional" church going christian. In fact, I really don't even like church. I love the great outdoors, hunting, fishing, just being out. I love to travel, and have been to Canada, Ireland, England, France, Germany, and Austria. I have been to every state west of Texas including the Hawaii and Alaska. I am proud of my Native American (First Nation) heritage and I dance traditional style dance to celebrate my culture. I am a feminist and I strongly believe in womens rights and minority rights, and homosexual rights.
I also love music.
