FEAR is only weakness that holds you back!

About Me

I love to see people laugh & have a good time. Life is to short to "HATE"! People need to start understanding that we are all human beings, no matter your religion, race, ethnic background, or sexual preference. We're all in this world for a short time together. When you hate so much in your life, your life becomes misserable & you miss out on some pretty cool people! DO NOT LIVE IN A BOX, life will pass you by! Anyone that knows me knows I'm a JOKER, some might think I'm not all there, but you'll have a great time! LIVE LIFE People! As for my Profession, I have been a Commercial Diver for 13 years now. I work for Superior Offshore as a Surface / Saturation Diver. Our company gets contracted out to various oil companies to do oil & gas platform & pipline installations, removals, & all underwater maintenance. I served in the United States Marine Corps. for 4 years after High School. Fought in Desert Shield / Storm with the 1st Bn. 7th Marines (Task Force Ripper) as a combat engineer. I have seen the ugly side of war & breached a lane through the 2nd belt of minefields for the task force. I am a proud veteran & proud of all who serve & those who have died for this country!
