I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Well, you can get a lot of this just by looking around here. I have four children. Two young daughters, one older son (18 years difference), and one son who is with God now. I love them all. I stay at home now with my daughters. Talk about mommy wars, try being a man that makes that choice. I have a hot wife. I wonder every day why she's with me. I'm pretty sure her Mom does too. I am a Christian. I am trying to live my life in a way that serves and pleases my Lord. I have degrees in music, education, and technology. I'm still looking for the perfect storm of a career that combines all three. My three year old daughter thinks farts are the funniest things ever. Does that make me a bad parent?

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

anyone who gets it, whatever it may be.
