About Me

I'm currently deployed in Afghanistan. I have just a few weeks left, and then it's back to the Good Ole USA!!! I like doing just about anything--spending time with my family, playing with my dogs, going to the beach, playing poker, playing guitar, reading books and working on my truck. I am married to my best friend (who I've known since kindergarten) and have the most beautiful wife & daughter in the world!!! I am currently living in Hope Mills, NC & am assigned to Pope Air Force Base. Prior to getting this assignment, I spent 15 months in the Republic of Turkey...and before that, I lived in Cheyenne, Wyoming for about 7 years. I am from West Tennessee and love everything The South is known for, stands for, and believes in. Hopefully, I will be back in Tennessee soon...it is the greatest place you could ever live! I'm also certified as a Hostage Negotiator, so if any of ya'll decide to take some hostages one day (or end up one yourself)--Call Me.CHECK OUT MY WEBSITE-- www.freewebs.com/tennesseebenFOR THE BEST DAMN BLUEGRASS IN WEST TENNESSEE, CHECK-OUT: http://www.myspace.com/lonesomedrifters

Books:

Since high school I have been reading the "Kay Scarpetta" series of books by Patricia Cornwell. They are "forensic thrillers"--basically they are detailed/fact based murder novels. I have also started reading books by Dan Brown and James Patterson.

Heroes:

The only people I have ever really considered "heros", are the everyday folks who do extraordinary things. My parents, all the military personnel that have ever fought for our country, and people like--teachers, police officers, firemen, etc. One person I draw inspiration from, is Daniel Negreanu. He is possibly the best No-Limit Texas Hold 'Em poker player in the world today, and just an all-around nice guy.
