Blame it all on my roots.

About Me

6'1" 185 lbs. Brown hair brown eyes. Average. I was born in a small town, probly die in that same small town. I enjoy just about anything outdoors. Hunting, fishing, four wheelin mainly. I am also a Jeep fanatic. Its very hard to explain yourself in a small piece of writing. At any given point in my life i have taken an interest in any one of a billion different things. I can carry on a conversation with pretty much anyone. I can speak very eloquently when necessary, but usually use my country dialect. I have a thing for women with a southern accent. Dont know why, but that little twang really cranks my tractor. I drink entirely too much coffee. My hearing isnt very good. My feet are always cold. Thats probly enough.
