Live life, and do what makes you happy... you never know when your time will be up.

About Me

I am a father, a husband, a friend, a martial artist, and many other things. I love to have a good time laughing, kidding around, learning new stuff, trying new things, and spending time with friends and family. I'm Italian and Irish, with a dash of Cuban. (what a mix) Not a big drinker, but I'll down a couple of Smirnoff Ice every once in a while. I have a big family including my 5 siblings. :P My wife and I have been married for 5 years now and we have an awesome son! :D If for some reason you feel compelled to know more, read this page and/or send me a message! LIVE LONG AND PLAY HARD!!!
This video is a MUST WATCH! It's not the first time I've heard the song, but coupled with the video it's just beautiful. I saw this .. and it literally brought tears to my eyes. Kinda makes me both happy and sad at the same time. LOL It is still VERY good though... and definatly worth your time.

My Interests

In no particular order... the Martial Arts, Computers, Football & Soccer, Music, Video Games, Science/Astronomy, Travel, and almost anything Military related

I'd like to meet:

I study many different forms of martial arts, but my primary arts are Goju Ryu Karate and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I also train, or have trained in, Shorinji Ryu, Shotokan, Kobudo, Escrima, Chi Kung, and Tai Chi. Through the martial arts I am gaining mental focus, physical fitness, daily challenges, and many good friends. I hope we all find this balance in our lives!
Below is a video of "Iron Mike" Zambidis. He is a incredible Greek kickboxer. The video is a bit long, and the good stuff doesn't start until about 1/3 into it, but it worth the watch! CHECK IT OUT!

Music:

I like all kinds of music. From Country to Hip-Hop, Indie or Classical, Techno and Rock... I like it all!

Movies:

I like a bunch of different movies, but a few of my favorites are 40 Year Old Virgin, Ong Bak: Muay Thai Warrior, Harold & Kumar Go to WhiteCastle, Gladiator, The Patriot, Euro Trip, Saving Private Ryan, Van Wylder, Fist of Legend, The Rundown, Drunken Master, Star Wars, The Fifth Element, and Cars (yes, that's a Disney movie, so what! LOL

Television:

UFC, College Football, Racing, House, Bones, CSI, The O.C., Discovery HD, Comedy Central, The Science Channel, TLC, The Military Channel, & MTV

Books:

"Karate-Do: My Way of Life" by Funakoshi Sensei

Heroes:

My Grandfather. He is THE greatest man I have ever have met. He was very hard working, loving, funny, and incredibly giving. Men like him just don't exist anymore. I hope that I can live up to his legacy... and become a man that he would be proud of. I love you Granddaddy! :D

I would also like to thank all of the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, Guardsmen who serve and protect this way of life. You ARE this country's heros.
