Nice guys do finish first, they just have to stay the course!

About Me

I am a graduate from the University of South Alabama in Mechanical Engineering. I was just married on July 29, 2006 and had a blast on my honeymoon in Las Vegas. I work in Pascagoula, MS for Northrop Grumman, Ship Systems where I do structural, shock, and stress analysis for navy warships. I like it there, and they like me there so that works out pretty well. My little girl, Mia, was born January 13th 2007. She is my raison d'etre (excuse my French). We are in the process of getting our first home decorated to some degree. That'll be our major project for the year. I play guitar when I get a chance, I love video games, although I'm into it like I used to be (engineering school screwed that up for me) and I lift weights. I am working toward getting my Professional Engineer's license so I can be self employed one day as well as some other things to be financially independent in the next ten years.

My Interests

Some quotesfrom a few of my favorite games:

Salvation by faith is something everyone should have an equal oppurtunity of obtaining. -- Billy Lee Black, Xenogears

What may be an eternity to man is a moment for god. I have no need for hesitation. -- Krelian, Xenogears

Sad... Scared... Crying. He will wake up soon... Xenogears is calling him. -- Midori, Xenogears

There are some things you just can't explain with the word... fate. You're just going to have to see it with your own eyes. -- Taura, Xenogears

The one who attains the dawn, the dusk, and the darkness shall climb the path to heaven...Wiseman -- Shevat Engraving, Xenogears

You appear to be looking forward, but in reality you're only looking downward. You're only looking at yourself. Like that, you will find nothing. -- Wiseman, Xenogears

Even if I go to hell, I will live to the end of this world. And if the world does not come to an end... I will destroy it with my own hands! -- Lacan, Xenogears

"If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh." -- Magus, Chrono Trigger

"The weak always strive to be weaker..." -- Magus, Chrono Trigger
