About Me

Noodle
I too was born at a very young age. It was in Baytown Texas and I have lived in and around the Houston area for all of my life. My father is a retired high school coach. He mostly coached football so I spent many a Friday night at the football game. I was one of those little rug rats that would run around on the field after the game was over. My mother also worked quite a few years in public schools. She held various support jobs around the school's front office (photo copy, attendance ect...)
It is no surprise that I ended up in the public service industry as well. I am a police officer for Conroe School District. I have had this career for just over 21 years now. I really like working with the kids. My duties include handling a narcotic detection canine named Duncan . I am also a bike patrol officer . One of my many other hats at work is life guard. Yeah, a life guard for a police department. We have our own summer camp through the Police Activities League and I am a life guard at the camp.
SWAT, been there doing that. I'm on our department's first responder team. I like to call it the "Fast Action Response Team". I really like the acronym.
I was also a challenge course facilitator for 10 years. I really got into experiential learning but the recertifications got to be more of a hassle than I got out of the challenge of it all. My good friend Chad left too. I miss you bud.
I have been married to my lovely wife, Mary for seventeen years. Mary teaches junior high in Willis. We have two children; eleven-year-old Bryce and six-year-old Brianna . I am very much involved with my family and enjoy my Monday through Friday job. Now I need to work on getting off during the summers. Hehehe...
My on-line life: I am pretty much addicted to the Internet. Besides MySpace (which is pretty new to me) I am active on several message boards, monitor Live Journal (don't journal much any more) and am was recently a senior moderator on a pretty big gaming web site Animal Crossing Community . You can find me there under the screen name Belay Dog. I am really not that much of a gamer though.

Music:



Well she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running round
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams and fairy tales
That's all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind.

When I'm sad, she comes to me
With a thousand smiles, she gives to me free
It's alright she says it's alright
Take anything you want from me, anything
Anything.

Fly on little wing,
Yeah yeah, yeah, little wing
