In short

  • not much to say really, married for 11 years; father of three ranging from 5 to 9. any other questions feel free to ask. oh yes, I'm planning on trying journalism while writing books, although due to circumstance I'm currently enrolled in a network administrations program. I'm also a member of associated content but have yet to post (hope to soon change that)  Also, I've taken an interest in learning slight of hand. Trying my hand at wood carving and would like to learn how to do pyrography (basically advanced woodburning)

  • seriously, if I wanted fame I wouldn't be using a screen name.  Can't really say I'm horribly concerned about fortune either, although I wouldn't turn it down.  Probably not anyway.
