About Me

38 yr old Construction Framer/Supervisor and Desert Storm Veteran. Served 12 yrs in the Army and National Guard combined. Since then, I've worked in the Myrtle Beach Area of South Carolina in Construction. I trained 12 yrs ago to make a run at the original American Gladiators. However My decision to train was made too late. By the time I was ready and called in for tryouts, I was told by a production assistant that no new seasons would be made due to ratings. In that 12 yrs following I lost sight of my fighting spirit and stopped working out, stopped a healthy diet and over the course of that time, I went from 200lbs to 270 lbs. Many times I told myself that I had to lose the weight and get healthy again for myself. And as important as I knew it was, I couldn't do it. I'm not sure if I didn't want to go through all that pain again, or if I was afraid I would try to lose it and fail.That "mental roadblock" to getting healthy again was about to be broken! Recently I was surfing the web and saw that the American Gladiators would be coming back. As soon as my mind processed the thought that it was back, my mind instantly realized I was being given a second chance. The "beast" within me had been awakened once more and my training and dieting has begun... not with a "lets see how it goes attitude" but more of a "there is no other option" mentality. I've lost close to 20 lbs already and am on my way to exploding onto the AG scene in Season 3 of their show!

My Interests

I'm not sure now. I used to play online video games for 20 years. I was so addicted to them, but I've finally gotten tired of them. They seem boring now. I also like Billiards (which I'm VERY good at), and football(secret project at work there)---------And a game I played off and on for over 7 years... Heroes of Might and Magic. Such an intellectually challenging game in it's time.

I'd like to meet:

Oprah- She's a very "centered" person, and you just feel like you could talk to her for hours, due to her personality./----Hulk Hogan- Only one reason.. If I meet him, that means I made it onto the American Gladiators show! :P/----Chris Metzen (Blizzard Creative Director)- I'd like to share my imagination with him concerning story ideas dealing with the World of Warcraft genre./----A.R.T. - I'd like to meet her again. She was the only woman I have ever truly known that I loved. Regardless if she has a family and all of that now, it would just be nice to see her again to wash away the past memories.----My Mom - She died from cancer 2 years ago, and I've missed her a lot since then. I used to really enjoy just calling her after a hard days work and joking around with her on the phone to hear her laugh. Why someone that wonderful has to be taken away from this world, is beyond my understanding.----Barrack O'bama- Such an inspiring person, and the only true chance this country has, in my opinion, to help the U.S. rebuild its economic and social status with the rest of the world.------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------ And after 12 years, I'm trying desperately to meet me again. The "me" that I lost in this cruel and cold world for so many years.---------------------. This video is kind of corny but its lyrics and music I think represent me and my inner drive :P-------------Regi ft Scala "I Fail"
