Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.

I plan on completing my first Triathlon in 2007!
I'm becoming an avid cyclist. Although the days are too short for me to ride a whole bunch, I can't go a week with out cravin' my fix of the open road.I've been running on a regular basis and for once in my life, I'm actually starting to enjoy it...go figure. I look forward to increasing my weekly mileage.Well Gina finally succeeded in getting me to swim - took long enough huh? Turns out,with a few pointers, I not as horrible of a swimmer as I thought. I should be developing gills anyday now...
I'm a HUGE Mixed Martial Arts fan!!! I enjoy training in MMA, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, boxing, you name it. I'm also into learning about nutrition and exercise.
On a mellower side, I like to bowhunt and bass fish. I dig tattoos, reading, playing with our dogs but mostly - I enjoy being a husband and a daddy.
I'd like to meet:
I'm interested in meeting people in and around New Braunfels, Texas who might want to train in Mixed Marital Arts in a small, informal setting. Hit me up if you might be interested.Also looking to meet cyclist and triathletes in the area. I've met some nice people and look forward to seeing others out on the road.
