Eastern NC guy half beach rat half red neck. I have lived on the left coast for a few years. Where I picked up rugby and a love for hiking. Then a few turns later I ended up in St. Petersburg Florida. My first two years there was on a 210ft Coast Guard cutter. Then after my time in the Guard was over I enrolled into St. Petersburg Junior College. Got my AA and was The Student Body President and LT. Gov for Circle K International. Then I crossed the bridge to The U of Tampa. What a great few years. I was on the Crew Team and The Pres of Theta Chi. My brothers still call me and make trips down to see me. It does not hurt that I live in Key West. Then as I was entering the work force the Gulf Coast keep getting hit with storms. So I moved to NC to work in the Family restaurant. With their support I entered back in the Coast Guard, don't make fun of me but I came back in as a SN E-3, but with hard work I made it back up the ladder to become a BM2 E-5 at Aids to Navigation Team Key West. The best job a guys could have. I live down here with my wife of 2 years and our dog Pork Chop. Hope all of my friends are doing well and take care.
