...good times come and good times go, I only wish the good times would last a little longer...

About Me

I've been in the Air Force and in Colorado Springs for a bit over 4 years.... so far, so good. No, I don't fly planes, but I do some stuff with satellites. I am originally from Latrobe, PA. I also have a wonderful girl that I have been going out with for quite some time now...In my spare time, I can be found at the gym lifting or running. In the last 2 years, I've taking up a crapload of hiking up near Pike's Peak, and usually go backpacking on the weekends when the weather is nice. In the winter, it is off to Breckenridge or wherever to snowboard, or getting stuck in a blizzard doing some "urban off-roading". Always back to Latrobe for the Rolling Rock 5 mile, or whtever they are going to call it since they sold the brewery. Previosly, I never wrote anything about 4-Wheeling, but I ended up getting that used '9-7 Jeep in '06 and have taken a few light to moderate trips over the mountain 4wd trails... Anyways, just here to see how stuff is going on with the people back in Latrobe and keep in touch with the people I met over my super-duper military career....
