About Me

In a nutshell, a country boy who found the sea, and then found out his name was destiny....but purely by chance. Anyhoo, I am a Commissioned Officer (Lieutenant(junior grade)) in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (aka NOAA Corps). Living in Picayune, MS, working for the National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) as Special Projects Officer at NASA's Stennis Space Center.I have also rekindled my interest in Scouting, and striving to help young scouts become upstanding gentlemen, and to give back to an organization that game me so much.
You Are 68% Republican
You have a good deal of elephant running through your blood, and you're proud to be conservative.
You don't fit every Republican stereotype, but you definitely belong in the Republican party. How Republican Are You?
You Are 12% Democrat
If you have anything in common with the Democrat party, it's by sheer chance.
You're a staunch conservative, and nothing is going to change that! How Democrat Are You?
