About Me

I'm a father, husband, family man, Navy veteran and patriotic American. I am very proud to have served in the U.S. Navy with Ronald W. Reagan as my Commander-in-Chief. The 1980s were my formative years and I am frequently nostalgic for that era. I grew up in the Los Angeles area (i.e., Agoura Hills) in a cop family. Yep...I was a LAPD brat. It was a fun experience that I will never forget. I am active and interested in a variety of conservative/libertarian causes, issues and philosophy. October is my favorite time of the year...the summer heat is over and I can begin looking forward to the holidays. My zest for life stems from the liberty and free will that each one of us is endowed with by our Creator. While I can have a twisted sense of humor and ironic view of things, I'm actually quite an optimist.TAKE THAT PETA! - Photo taken in Washington, D.C., July, 2004. Here I am with this strange looking vehicle. The van made a comfy foot rest while I was chowing down on a 100% beef bratwurst.Calvin and Hobbes was the best comic strip ever. I miss them terribly, sniff.I've always wanted a pet lion. I wonder...can lions be house broken?Free men wear holsters, slaves wear chains.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People of substance and character who are not phonies. I am extremely loyal and devoted to those who gain my trust and respect. Be genuine. If you feel compelled to lie about yourself to impress other people or to deceive, you are only wasting my time and yours. The purpose of morality is to teach you, not to suffer and die, but to enjoy yourself and live.
