I love hanging out with my guys from the firehouse, they are my second family, doing anything with them is always fun.
My other interests include Firearms (practical/tactical competitions, pistol, shotgun and rifle), firefighting, emergency medicine, Surfing the web, watching my son play football, working on house and yard projects. I like to get outdoors when I can.
Hmmm... Well I am already married, so that cuts down this section quite a bit, doesn't it? So, if your a single gal who just moved into my area and has webcam... I'm fat, bald and ugly, so proceed at your own risk.
I've grown to like to meet new people and have come to try to appreciate people for who THEY are. (I didn't use to, I guess this happens when you get older)
One of my best friends and brother firefighters was killed in Iraq recently (on Memorial Day, 2006) and I miss him greatly. If a place such as Heaven exists, I hope to see him again.

Generally just about anything country will do. (Big and Rich's "8th of November" strikes a cord right now).
Dances with Wolves, The Last Samurai, Forrest Gump, Platoon, and The Postman are some of my favorites.
My Name is Earl, The Office, (the new) Battlestar Galactica and The History Channel. I really don't have time to watch TV too much anymore.
Unintended Consequences, Shooter, War Letters, The Book of Two Guns, The Martial Art of the 1911 Pistol and the AR Carbine, Fight to Win. I do most my reading on computer forums, www.glocktalk.com www.ar15.com www.thehighroad.org www.thefiringline.com and www.firehouse.com
My heroes are not sports figures or the like. My heroes are the people who take action when others watch. The people who step forward when others stand back. You don't have to wear a uniform to be a hero.
The 343 F.D.N.Y. firefighters who ran in, when they should have been running away and all of our our soldiers who are sitting in a desert because they had the courage to act...
All my guys at Estacada Fire, who bust theirs, saving yours, without expectation, but simply out of a desire to serve.
These people are heros.
