I am a 30 year old married father of 2, a son and a daughter. My family is my life. I am severely disabled (read: crippled) and not in good overall shape.

I love movies, guns and cars. I love having my FUBAR friends, as I am pretty much a shut in. When my condition permits it, I am a gunsmith, a mechanic, a plumber, an electrician, well, you get the picture.

When I get out and about, when it's not to Doctors appointments, I like to explore nature as well as I can. I love photography, and try to get as many pics as possible of different things. Too bad I can't capture the fresh air along with the images, lol.

I was never in the military because of their medical restrictions. I had planned to join the Marine Corps. I never even got into the recruiter's office, just a phone call. I still heavily support our Armed Forces, and deeply regret not getting the chance to help.

"1,2,3,4, I love the Marine Corps."
"When it absolutely, positively, has to be destroyed overnight, call the Marines!"

A little bit about my heritage. I am American. I am proud to be an American, as America is the "melting pot of the world". I am German, English, Native American, and Irish. My family has traced our Native ancestry back to Pocahontas and her husband, John Rolfe. We have also found President William Howard Taft in our family lineage. I am quite proud of my native ancestry, despite the fact that I am indisputably Anglo. I hold many of the same beliefs as my Native ancestors, and it has helped explain alot about my personality and spirit.

I am also trilingual. I speak fluent Bad American and Redneck. I also speak Proper American, but not as well as the other two.
