About Me

JOHNNY CASH - BIG RIVER

Add to My Profile | More VideosI am many things to many people. I like being able to adapt to the situations I've been put into (and life has given me plenty of opportunities to prove that). I am adventurous and seek knowledge and truth. I like trying new things. I like having some security but like to be challenged and take risks. I am a good man but I often walk the line between the sacred and profane (hopefully trying to please God more than I run from him.) I have been to many places in the world and I have sailed the seven seas (or Great Lakes, as it were). And I intend to see as much of the world as I can. I am an actor, I am a musician, I am an adventurer, I am a Christian, I am a friend, and I am a romantic. I've thought about being a missionary or working full-time in ministry. Right now, it just feels like I'm trying to survive......(to be continued)

My Interests

sailing, rock climbing, music (singing and playing guitar), travelling, designing and drawing, writing scripts, vintage fashion (ala Steve McQueen, James Dean, etc.), the 1950's and 1960's, paintballing, hiking, mountain climbing, camping, "ebaying", acting, drinking imported beers, Western Swing music, vintage Rockabilly music and more...
