I'm a 43 year old male. Lived up and down the east coast of the US-from the most southernly to the most northernly. From this I have been able to experience a wide spectrum of our nation's persona.

Also, I served 18 years in the military, and met many interesting people from all over. Many good and some bad. I was fortunate to travel all over the US, and some countries in Europe. Again, this aided in my growth.

I am the father of three. A son, young man now, and two teenage daughters. Joys all of them.

Attended college, quitting my senior year, to join the military. Interests include Political Science and religion-among other social issues. Worked as a mailman, jail guard, and many menial jobs.

My goal in life is to leave the world in a better position than when I entered it, to the best of my ability.
