You can take the boy out of Alaska, but you definitely can't take the Alaska out of the Boy!!

About Me

The name is Mike, obviously. I just got married on August 12 of '06. I married the sister of one of my college basketball teamates! I've lived my whole life up in Alaska and I love it up there. I grew up in the town of Homer, but since I got married, I moved to Washington state where my wife is from. Laci is a nurse and she loves it. I have spent the last 10 years on the Time Bandit, a crab boat out of Homer. For whatever reason, I love being out in the Bering Sea catching crab! There is nothing like pulling up a King Crab pot with 100 crab in there! The whole thing is an adrenaline rush that I'll never outgrow! I took last winter off from crab fishing because I just got married. I plan on going crabbing again this fall ('07) for King Crab, then again in January for Snow Crab. Call me crazy, but I love that stuff! I found this layout design on PureLayouts.com - check out their MySpace Layouts .

My Interests

SCUBA DIVING!!! I just got certified last spring and I love it!! If I can't be on top of the water catching fish or crab, I might as well be under it looking at 'em!! I'm flying to Bonaire in South America for the first 10 days of December to go diving!! I can't wait!

I'd like to meet:

Television:

I'm somewhat a fan of that TV show Deadliest Catch on Discovery Channel!! History and Discovery Channel can consume alot of my TV time!!

Books:

I love to read when I'm on the boat and I'm driving it through the night. I love reading about history and WWII. Those are my favorite kinds of books!
