Home is Texas. I did call Alaska home before, but work has displaced me to TX. Reality has sunken in and I have come to the realization that if I move back to Fairbanks I’ll only do so as a bachelor because my wife isn’t going. :)

I enjoy all kinds of outdoor activities to include hunting, fishing, hiking, shooting and camping.

I’m a private pilot and am IFR rated. I’m an USAF brat that went Army. I like anything that has to do with guns. My six year old daughter already knows how to shoot! She does *NOT* own a gun. I own the gun which happens to have pink pearl handels. My wife use to shoot competitively. Our hobbies and family in the area were the main reasons we chose to move to Texas when I left the Army. I can’t live in a place where they suck the fun out of living.

I graduated from Frankfurt American High School and went to University of Maryland (MD) where I received my BS in management. I have a Masters in Business Administration and work for a major IT firm in Plano TX as a Project Manager.

Joined the Army, went OCS (BCO), Infantry, Airborne Ranger. Deployed to Iraq in 2003 (OIF1), and left the service as a service connected disabled VET in 2005 (80%). Still love the Army and enjoyed my time in service.

Politically I’m conservative in the traditional sense. I don’t see the Constitution as a “living document”. It means what it says, and it does so intentionally in plain language. It wasn’t created by a bunch called the “framers.” Before we invented newspeak they were called the "founding fathers." I am an advocate of decentralization; meaning state rights and small government.

I am the big evil ugly American Hollywood mocks and foreigners hate. I’m a capitalist swine that thinks the private sector can provide near all services better than a government. If you want government healthcare I can take you to a VA hospital. Maybe that will help readjust your view of government administered services. Of course you could also just ask somone on Social Security how this great program works. National = Universal = Social healthcare. They all will end up looking the same, no matter what dress you try to put onto that pig.

I don’t by into the business of environmentalism and won’t waste my money making demagogues like Gore rich by buying carbon offsets, a program he advocates but also personally enriches himself with. I don’t care about baby seals, acid rain, the coming ice age (preached in the 70s), global warming, ozone hole, the dangers of cell phones, microwave ovens, high power lines, and other made up rackets to scare people into giving up their hard earned money for some imaginary cause. While children die of cancer, hunger, premature birth, we have people running around selling us made up global warming. If you have some money and want to do something good, try giving it to someone who at least will make a real difference on this earth:

There are many who make a difference; who have a real impact on another human’s life. Make a difference, don’t chase a demagogue.
