About Me

MyGen Profile Generator
While the wicked stand confounded call me with thy Saints surrounded
I suppose I’d describe myself as an easy-going, fun loving guy. I’m very outgoing and I make friends easily and since I’ve moved around a lot, that trait has served me well. I’m the father of two adorable little girls – I’m very protective of them, so you won’t find any pictures of them on my profile and I won’t tell you much about them unless I know you. I’ll just say that I am very proud of them and I love them immensely.
I served in the USAF for 7 years from 1992 to 1999, after which I continued to serve in a paramilitary capacity as a deployable Department of Defense civilian until 2005. I tried the defense contracting world for a while, but I find it’s not for me and I’m now starting a career as a mortgage advisor, which I’m very excited about.
I’m originally from Baltimore, MD, but I have traveled and moved around a lot. I am currently in San Diego, CA and I plan on settling here. In between I’ve lived in Mississippi, Colorado, Georgia, Virginia, England, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania. My travels have taken me to Germany, Italy, France, Belgium, Holland, Iraq, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia a couple other places I can’t mention and probably a few I’m forgetting. I love to travel and I hope to do a lot more in the near future.
I love sports, but soccer is my passion. I played in college and for a short while in the Atlantic Professional Soccer Conference which, unfortunately, no longer exists. I'm a fan of Newcastle United in the EPL and D.C. United in MLS. Well I try to support MLS, but the league doesn’t make it easy for a serious fan.
