Carlton (Viper)

In Pursuit of Life

About Me

Just livin' the dream baby...
Hello everyone and welcome to my page. My name is Carlton and I'm currently living in Music City USA. For those wondering about my name "Viper", that was a call-sign given to me by Nashville's finest Fire Chief, Navy SEAL, and my rescue dive instructor, Chief George E. Hickey.
Basically, I'm a man of principle, and I believe in helping people. So I hope my actions in life make a difference, and that I display the type of character which shows honor and integrity. I know God has been very good to me and has provided me with more than I deserve, so I seek out the opportunities to give back what I can.
During my time off, I enjoy spending time with friends and family. I also like random weekend getaways - the places where I have nowhere to go and all day to get there lol. And any time I can take my bike or convertible Jeep out on an afternoon/evening drive is always a favorite. Needless to say, I often experience more than my fair share of excitement and adventure.

My Interests

Motorcycles, off-roading, camping, jet ski/boating, SCUBA diving, working out, guitars.
