About Me

I'm a christian but not perfect. I'm a husband and getting better. I'm a father of two girls. I'm a brother when I can be. I'm a son when I call my mom about once a month. I'm a marine when at work. I'm a killer, or so they tell me. I'm a Jack-of-all-trades but lousy at my job. I love learning until class starts.

My Interests

I like raising my kids. reading books. playing games whether computer, or board. hanging out with friends.

I'd like to meet:

I like meeting people who have traveled extensively. people capable of complex thought. people capable of intelligent conversation. people vastly different than me. people that have a broader perspective on life than just what they are living.

Music:

I'm open to almost all music styles but I mostly listen to rock.

Movies:

I love watching movies but rarely have the time.

Television:

No but I do watch some shows on video.

Books:

I like cartoons, science fiction, some westerns, some fantasy.

Heroes:

My wife for staying sane while taking care of our kids and putting up with me at the same time.
