About Me

Hi, this is the official home of my website. There are many like it but this one is mine. Ahhh... enough of the introductions, how about some "me" time? Well, lets start; I am 25 years old, currently living in Vista, California with my amazing wife Cheryl. I am in the Marine Corps stationed out of Camp Pendleton, and have been for the past two and a half years. I am originally from a small town called Tenino, Washington, where I spent the majority of my formative years. I have a Miniature Dachshund and an English Bulldog, and they are practically my kids. I consider myself to be a pretty big Seattle sports fan, and while it's somewhat rough being a Seattle sports guy in California, it's still worth all the misery they put me through. Personality.... well I would say I'm a really laid back, easy going kinda guy who typically knows right from wrong. I think I am courteous, respectful, confident, ridiculously good looking, and smart. Some of my bad traits are that I can be somewhat of a condescending, conceited, chauvenistic monster, but who doesn't have skeletons in their closet? I think this pretty much sums me up. I will be setting sail in the first week of May, for those who are interested in sending me an email, my email address will be [email protected] Hope to hear from some folks.

Kuwait, again....

So I made it into Kuwait yesterday for a wash-down of all of our vehicles and whatnot (Think of it as customs, we can't have any foreign dirt on our stuff), so the trip essentially is to wash everythi...

Jordan, Bahrain

My loyal readers, So to paraphrase my time in Jordan, it was alright..... The base we were staying at sucked miserably; there were no pre-set structures, and amendities were minimal at best. The...

Singapore

Crunch time

My loyal readers...... I am once again realizing that when a deployment comes around, there all the sudden becomes absolutely no "me time" to take care of last minute stuff. I never seemed to be...
