After growing up on the Mexican border in South Texas, most of my adult life has been spent in the U.S. Army in one form or another. I am a retired Army Officer now but I still work for the Department of Defense at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio as a civilian. I will continue to work as a civil service employee until I retire on my small ranch in the Texas Hill Country outside San Antonio. I wasn't a Desert Warrior or Iraqi Freedom hero, I was just a Vietnam era veteran who was proud of the time I spent running around the jungles of Southeast Asia. I come from several generations that served our nation in the armed forces and will always be proud that I continued that honorable tradition. My two proudest achievements in life are my adopted sons, Michael(33) and Reed (21). They both showed me that any man can be a father, but it takes a special man to be a Dad. I'm anxious to meet someone with the same passions I have and wants to enjoy some biker rally weekends throughout the Lone Star State.
