About Me

For more about me, photos, my blog and my real home on the web, go to ApplebyTexas.com Also, check out the Appleby Fire Department's website for more of my photos. ApplebyFire.com
For those that don't know, I married my Woden High School sweetheart Amanda and we've been happily married over 8 years. If there were ever two people who God made for each other, it was us. No kids so far, just the best 5 year old pound puppy ever born. Amanda has been a hairdresser for over 12 years now and owns Amanda's Hair Salon.
I'm probably the most unlikely computer geek in the world...those of you who have known me for a long time probably still can't believe it. I have no idea how it happened either? I just took a liking to computers when I was a teenager as the internet came about and that liking has grown into a passion. I now own Benchmark Computer & Tech Support, a business helping people in any way with their computers and electronics, such as printers, digital cameras etc. I also do alot of pre-purchase advice for people who are unsure what to buy when it comes to computers and electronics. If you ever need any computer work done or just have questions, let me know!
My hobbies are wide-ranging. I'm still into hunting and fishing like always but poker is my hobby that I spend alot of time on. Amanda also plays poker and it's alot of fun since she enjoys the game too. I play mainly Texas Hold'em but also enjoy most all the other common poker games such as Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, 7 Card Stud and Razz. Photography is also another big hobby of mine and I am the photographer for the Appleby Fire Dept., as well as a firefighter. Amanda is a support member and the Secretary for the department.
