About Me

Just an average guy from Chicago. My family is originally from Mexico. Joined the Navy after H.S. and became a Hospital Corpsman. Served 7 yrs with the Marines as a field medic. Spent the last 3 yrs in Hawai'i. Now I'm in San Diego. I love my job. Still having a blast. So here I am...

My Interests

I'm always looking for something fun to do... Going to the beach, having a beer at the pub with the guys (and gals) or a night of partying and dancing at the club. Most of the time just hanging out with my friends. But every now and then I do like to stay home watching a movie and relaxing (especially with that special someone).

I'd like to meet:

Which ArchAngel are you most like?
Lucifer. The most misunderstood of all the ArchAngels, you're most like the ArchAngel of Light. You've seen the darkside and have opted for something better. You need better press, though chances are no one will really understand your motives.
