About Me

I'm Zach and I grew up all over the country as a military brat. High school was in Anchorage, Alaska and that experience cannot be put into words. Came to Nashville for school when dad transferred to Ft. Campbell (his retirement post). Graduated from the schools that you can see below and now I'm studying for the CPA exam when I'm not slaving away for the State. Single, but trying not to worry about it. Want to ensure that my professional life is firmly established (22.5 more years to retirement) so I can provide for the eventual family. Religion is very important to me and I'm trying to make it an even higher priority in my daily life. Heaven is the goal & a good Christian wife is just one of the parts that I'm missing in my pursuit of Christ. My religious life is under improvement as I strive to be the Christian & man that God wants me to be. Yes, I also realize that most of my pictures seem to be settled around the sci-fi theme, but the only time I take pictures of myself is when I'm with my groups at conventions. On the Internet boards I'm known as either Zachmire or DVDMaster. Proud to state that I'm a member of the Fighting 501st Legion of Stormtroopers, the elite Star Wars costuming group. We appear at conventions, retail things, but most importantly at charity events (Make-A-Wish is one of our local charities SEE VIDEO in my heroes section). I have both the Stormtrooper and Snowtrooper sets of armor, so my official designation in the Legion is TK/TS-3740. Have also recently joined the Colonial Defense Force and am an Ensign aboard the Battlestar Polaris out of Kingsport, TN. In my free time I like to try and find some time to battle household responsibilities, but find that sometimes it's a losing battle. That seems more than enough to tell for now. Later!

You're Dr. Cox. You're this nice, insecure HUMAN, underneath it all, but that's not something we ever see. Instead we get to enjoy watching you make the interns cower with your bad temper, tendency to give people strange and humiliating nicknames, and more. Rate and Message, please!

Music:

Generally country (Brad Paisley, Alan Jackson, George Strait, Toby Keith, Garth Brooks, Shania Twain, Reba, Martina McBride, Hank Williams Sr., Bill Monroe, etc.), movie soundtracks, and whatever pop song is hot (except for rap). As a specialty genre of music I like comedy/parody groups, e.g. Weird Al Yankovic, The Great Luke Ski, & the Capitol Steps.

You are Homer! Dumb (sorry) stupid (sorry) and loveable. You love food and love nothing more than a freshly baked pie. You care more about you and your stomach than anything else!

Books:

I like to read, but just not a lot of time to do that, it seems. Currently I'm reading the Harry Potter series (yeah, I'm like the last nerd to do that), and they are blowing the movies out of the water. But, let's be honest, what book can really compete with "The Bible." If this section is important to you then feel free to ask me more.

Heroes:

The Lord our God, my Father, Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon (distant relative), Sgt Alvin C York, Gen George S Patton, George Lucas; and Soldiers, Firefighters & Police Officers.
