Let's see. I'm originally from Cleveland and have finally made it back to Ohio. Took a very roundabout way, was in the army for 5 years, Iraq for two of them, spent a year out in the Nevada desert under contract for uncle sam. But yeah, finally found something good in Ohio, alas, not Cleveland, close enough. I'm into lots of things that are listed in my profile, so yeah, i'm kinda a dork.
