Don't pull it if it ain't .50 cal or bigger

About Me

Born in Provo, UT., I have spent the majority of my life in Southern California. I spent 7 years in the US Navy and am a combat veteran having seen action in the first Gulf War '91. I am currently working in the field of armed protection and security. I also own and operate a property management business.

My Interests

I am an avid gun enthusiast. I regularly participate in recreational and competitive shooting in addition to participating in team centered Airsoft maneuvers. I love getting on my motorcycle and just going for a ride to see where I will end up.

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet people who aren't bothersome, annoying, or just plain socially retarded.

Music:

I will listen to just about anything as long as it's not Gangsta' Rap. But seriously, haven't bands like Pearl Jam and Stone Temple Pilots pretty much outlived their usefullness? I dig anything from Mozart to Megadeth.

Movies:

I'm a guy. James Bond movies of course.

Television:

There is way too much "reality" crap on TV for me. I prefer to stay with intellectual programs like Family Guy, The Simpsons, Futurama and South Park, Love anything with politcal and/or high-brow humor.

Books:

Anything by Stephen King, Alistair MacLean or Elmore Leonard.

Heroes:

Gen. H. Norman Schwartzkopf. Adm. Chester W. Nimitz. Col. Oliver North. President Ronald W. Reagan. And anyone who wants to see that whore Paris Hilton get a world-class beat down from a 350 lb 7 ft tall bulldyke.
