About Me

Hello and welcome to my page. My name is Dave and I live in a small rural Iowa town. My wife is a pediatric Intensive Care Unit Nurse at a childrens hospital nearby. My daughter is a college student as well, majoring in Art History and French. My son is majoring at giving me premature grey hairs. As for me, after my career in the Air Force, and a few other occupations since I became a full time college student majoring in buisness. I decided I was tired of working for other people and playing by their rules and made a decision to be my own boss. All of of this is coming after a great career in the Air Force as a firefighter as well as a dabble into a few other jobs. Well just drop me a line if there is anything else you would like to know or are curious about. PUT YOUR ABOUT ME SECTION HERE! Changes may take up to 2 mins to show on your profile

My Interests

Craftsman, Art Deco, and Victorian homes and furniture, Antique refinishing, reading, music, art, astronomy, philosophy, silver coins, German Beers, Italian Food, a good red wine, conversation, laughter, aircraft and rockets, gardening somewhat, learning, and having good friends

I'd like to meet:

Other Fans of The Who of course but that is not a necessary prerequesite to being a friend however. I like to meet a variety of people and just have fun and converse. I like to talk with fairly open minded people. If you can spell that is a huge plus as well. If you think you are interesting and like to talk on a wide variety of topics, by all means send a friend request. But do be a friend and have some contact now and again. I hate to be relegated to a friends list and collect dust like an old trophy. PUT YOUR I'D LIKE TO MEET SECTION HERE!

Music:

The Who obviously is my favorite band. I love rock music with meaning, Jazz is my second choise. I do like various other forms of music and I can listen to about anything with the exception of pop,hip-hop,rap and country.

Movies:

Way too many to list!

Television:

The boob tube depresses me with the current and steady stream of crap that is being broadcast. I hate reality T.V. with a passion. I did get hooked on the show "Heroes" though. That is my guilty pleasure.

Books:

Historical novels and biographies mostly. I do now and again read a suspense novel or just something that catches my eye.

Heroes:

Any one that has stood for something bigger than themselves and for their fellow man.
