About Me

How I got to myspace...Other people asking me if I was on myspace. Former co-workers, former Navy people, people at concerts and people I met everywhere. This is like a major city. Actually bigger, more like a country.
General Me Info:
Some descriptions I heard...Smart, Witty, Sarcastic, Fun, Enthusiastic, Spontaneous, Open Minded. And Smart-ass, Ass, and Bastard. Depends on who you talk to.
A Little about my History...

I spent most of my life in the Navy and had the pleasure of traveling to 33 countries. Some of the places I was stationed (lived)at: Virginia Beach-Va, San Diego-Ca, Rodman-Pamana, Holy Loch-Scotland, Victoria-Canada, Pearl Harbor-Hi. I had a lot of adventures and learning experiences. I served on the USS Ranger an Aircraft Carrier, USS Cushing a Destroyer (For 6 years), USS Reid a Frigate, and patrol boat 872. On shore duty I was an instructor at the Fleet Combat Training Center Pacific in Point Loma, CA and served at the Fleet Area Control and Surveillance Facility on North Island Naval Air Station.
In whatever spare time and weekends I had available, I volunteered at Sharp Rehab Hospital in San Diego working with people with brain injuries and spinal cord trauma.
After I moved back to Wi, I did some floor covering work (Which I still do,) and had a few cubicle customer service jobs. It's not bad, but it's like living in a fishbowl. There's a lot of people who think the world is going to end if the average call handle time goes up. And they take themselves way too seriously.
I have a stainedglass studio, called Celtic Whispers Stained glass. I do custom stained glass fabrication and Happily travel where needed.

In addition to that I'm with the U.S. Coast Guard Search and Rescue Auxiliary from March to October.
My AIM SN is gbjeepguy, but I'm not on a whole lot.

My life right now is uncomplicated. I rarely hear "You have to..." or "You can't..."
