About Me

I'm a pretty laid back guy who is very technical in nature. I like to tinker with stuff. I spend most of my free time in deep thought about my obsession with pretty much anything automotive, and fill the rest by piddling around on the computer, playing video games, hunting down new music, and drowning in an endless sea of anime.

I live in deep east Texas, and having grown up in a big city, it's a little weird at times. I love my job though, so I deal with it.

I'm engaged to a wonderful woman who I've been with for about 5 years now- so all of you who have been saying "it's about time!" can finally just wonder "when?!" now.

Now I have to see where all of you are coming from since I'm stuck in the asshole of Texas:

You are now marked on my profile visitor map!

All the men and women serving in our country's armed forces, whether they be here in the US or overseas serving in some insane furnace. I may not agree with all the reasons why we are deployed in certain locations, but I have the deepest respect for everyone who fights for our country.
