I'm a 39 year old contractor whose been in this line of work my entire life. My grandfather who was a general contractor started me off at the ripe age of four running up 40' ladders to the rooftop of an extention he was building on his own house and I never looked back from there. I was born with a silver hammer in my mouth you could say. He was such a mentor, friend and teacher to me that it grew in my blood, quick. It's a great trade, I really love it. I'm pretty much the typical guy next door type. Maybe a little more visually strong than most cause I have long hair and more tattoos than I can count these days but I'm really down to earth and just do my own thing and pass the respect along as I go. I also have a great Love of Harleys. I've owned a few over the years and my present bike is a 1979 xlh. I work so much overtime I haven't had any time to ride this season, but she's always sitting there patiently waiting for daddy to go out for a nice,long ride. Next spring I might trade this baby in and step up to a fatboy or full dresser maybe. I haven't totally sold myself on that yet, let's pay off the new truck first.....My life is centered around my family and work these days. I've been involved with a woman for about three and a half years now and she is the absolute love of my life. I've known her since I was born basically. She was my older sisters best friend growing up and I was the little pain in the ass brother who always clung on while they were hanging, but I had such a crush on her back then I couldn't stay away. God, at the age of five I told my parents that I was going to marry her someday and after 25+ lost years of not seeing her one fateful night at my grandmothers 80th birthday party she walked into the room and changed my life forever. It was Love at first sight for both of us. We were both heading out of our own marriages at that time and just turned into teenagers again and couldn't let each other go. She has three beautiful children who I Love very much and they all call me "pops". Pretty cool for kids who have never dealt with such a hard headed, old tattooed harley rider as myself, so cool.... Marriage isn't far off for us at all. We've taken our time to really get to know each other and do things right this time around. Thank God, nobody needs those quick fixes anymore....I'm also an old guitar player too, I wasn't just holding the Les Paul for looks in my picture. lol I used to do all the gigs back in the day but got away from it. I've all but given up my playing these days till my step daughter showed an interest in learning guitar a couple years ago and I showed her some basics and she took off with it, now my youngest stepson has gone nuts for guitar and I've started giving him lessons and most of my guitars too. At 13, he's the coolest kid around with a collection of guitars...lolWell, since I'm so new to this myspace stuff, I'll reread this profile and change it up later since there's nothing witty to add to this stuff
