About Me

I am a Lakota man, born and raised on the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation in South Dakota. I currently live in Missouri. I am married to a beautiful woman, Kathleen. She is perfect for me. Did I mention that she is very, very patient and forgiving. She is the best thing that ever happened to me, except for birth, maybe.-------I am 36 and happily married to Kathleen. We have 3 children; Ashton-19, McKenna-9 and Brendan-5. Ashton has made me a grandpa, a little early in life, but I love that little guy. His name is Andrew James and he has a special place in my heart. McKenna is in the fourth grade, she really excells at school. Brendan is getting big, and he is very, very smart. I really have a blessed life.Me...Well I am a general superintendent for a concrete construction company. I have a great life with a great family, and am happy most of the time. The other times I am not, did a metion I have a wife and kids, and they don't always let me do what I want. That makes me not so very happy (Kenna speak). Other than that you will have to ask to find out.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Real, honest people, who want to help the people for the peoples' good, not theirs. People who don't whine and bitch. People who are self-sufficient and strive to make the reservation self-sufficient...

MY WIFE, MY WORLD

My Wife, My World In the beginning there was only me. I seemed so careless and free, and then inside there was a burning. In my heart started a yearning. What was this new feeling? I tried to figure ...

Home

Isn't it funny that no matter how long you are away from the reservation it always feels like home.  It seems that one would tire of going someplace that has so much sadness and uglyness.  B...
