I live just outside of Phoenix and work at Intel as a process engineer. I am originally from the Detroit area but prefer to consider myself a Yooper after spending a decade in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. (Wouldn't you do the same? The Lower Peninsula pretty much sucks!)
My "kids" are all non-human. I am particularly obsessed with reptiles, especially monitor lizards. All of my tattoos are lizards, and my house is completely overdone with lizard-themed stuff. Yet I can't stop buying more.
I spend quite a bit of time hiking and four-wheeling. I like big obnoxious trucks, the louder the better. I've recently gotten into martial arts and discovered that I truly love to kick ass! I am also a NRA member and proud to live in a state where I can carry a handgun pretty much wherever I want.
Otherwise, I am a conservative Christian with some libertarian tendencies. I attempt to read and follow the Bible but I have a tendency to get myself in trouble nevertheless.
