About Me

I have spent many years in the commercial printing field. I worked with electronic design software back before personal computers were around. For the past three years, I've been working on the retail side of mortgage lending, but after moving back to Texas, I'll probably go back to electronics, which officially, I am doing now...Grr. I've also started up with Fotune Hi-Tech Marketing and you can learn more about this at: www.fhtmus.com/flopez because I think that's it!! I had spent those last three years living in Santa Fe, New Mexico. A little too high altitude for me and cold. Summers are mild, but winter can be long. I work, workout and work with others. I had thought about being a personal trainer, but don't mind helping someone out. I had competed in NPC just for fun, but my fun means I want to win, too. For me, there's not a future in being a 300 pound eating machine like Ronnie Coleman. I want a body builder's type body, but to concentrate on a versatile athlete. I STILL KICK ASS IN VOLLEYBALL AND SOCCER!I have a wonderful family! My children know what it is to have a dad that loves them. I have been blessed because they return that love to me many times more than I had ever shown them. They too, have my sense of humor and I believe that's how we made it though rough times. Frank III, Laura Lynn, Leanna...I LOVE YA'LL!! Now, back in Texas for a few months, looking to create my business all over, again. It's going to be a while, but I love the business and just need time to get it started in Texas.You'll notice that I have resturctured my site aimed mainly at the body building and fitness world. Most everything on here will relate to it. I have a goal, I want to keep that and do what I've set my mind to do.

My Interests

I'm hoping my daughter will be coming back safely and all will welcome here as shown here in Thank-the-Troops:

Add to My Profile | More Videos

I'd like to meet:

Send me a message, if you'd like, I'd love to hear from you. I'm a people person, so I'm more of the face to face type although more and more, I'm online. Movie stars, bands...those do not interest me. It's a person that accomplishes the little goals that are seemly out of reach. Those are the ones I would like to meet. If you've read this far and want to be friends, "hold the freakin' phone... if you're going to send me a friend request, send me a message first so i know who you are. My friend request inbox is completely out of hand"... and it will show you have some interest in knowing this person,not just the pic.I wish I could have met Steve Reeves. This guy is the one that got me started in trying to accomplish a great physique.

Music:

I love just about anything. From jazz and R&B, to classical, rock, country, to foreign. I'm open.

Movies:

Nothing in the horror area. In fact, I hate them because I know someone out there is taking notes. I like to watch good movies more than once because I'll then look at it from a different point of view.

Television:

Not really into it. When I can, I pick up old Sci-Fi programs.4400 is interesting.

Books:

If they have some real meaning, I would read them. I'm not into novels. I would rather read a instruction manual than a novel.(nerd).

Heroes:

Parents! My Grandfather!!! He's the man.Now the real side. Stevie. One of many that have lost their lives in Iraq. If you have that uniform on, you are a hero, right Lee?
