I have a lot to be thankful for in my life at this point. I for now live in Transitional Housing for Veterans in Port Orchard. Depression and Alcohol were the two things that got me into this program. I have learned to take ownership in the things I have done in my life, and to stop blaming other people for the things I chose to do in my life. Nobody forced me to drink I did that of my own free will. Depression for me was not something I could shake off like some people, and I did not want to be on medicine so I used alcohol as my band aid. And then eventually I did get on anti depresents and I would feel better and then get off of them. It cost me a marriage to a great woman. Her and I are still the best of friends to this day, but she could not stand by anymore and watch me do what I was doing to myself anymore. I was a good person it was just buried under a ton of Depression and Pain. I may have come out a little scraped and bruised but far from beaten, there is still a lot of fight left in this warrior. The reason I write this about myself is to let the person that I meet to know a little bit of my story. I am a very firm believer in honesty and this is a reason I put this on my page. You have the right to know me, and I will tell you whatever you want. This past summer for me was one of the best I have had in years. In the past I would of drank my summers away and have no memories of it at all, this summer I went to more movies, and hikes than I have in years. I also Went to the Gorge to See Dave Matthews a band I have wanted to see for years, all I can say about that experience is Amazing, and look forward to next September when they come back to town, I am going to go for the whole 3 days, I would like to meet a woman that I have a connection with, that makes my heart skip a beat every time I see her. I may be a guy but I want the dream. I see the end of some movies and think what an awesome ending that was. I would like that to happen in my life. there are 7 billion people in this world, and I believe there that one person out there that will love you for who you are no matter what. I want the fairy tale. I am currently in the process of loosing the rest of the weight that I gained after my shoulder injury in the Army. I have dropped 30 pound in the last 2 months all ready and look forward to getting back down to my Army weight in the next 6 months. I am a big guy I am 6'3" 320 pounds but I have the biggest heart in the world, and would love to find a woman that will love me for who I am . I just started School at Olympic College I have one class so far but I am taking a bigger load next quarter. I am going for my Nursing degree. I want to specialize in one of two fields, Either Neonatal Intensive Care or Trauma. I have some experience with the Medical field from the Army, and I feel it is my calling in life to help others.

I know a question that will come up is what do I look for in a woman, well the first thing is sense of humor to me is very important, as well as Honesty, followed by sweet, caring, loving, is not afraid to hold hands in public, What is so wrong with letting everyone know that you deeply love the one you are with. And I don't mean making out in front of everyone but I feel that not enough people in this world show enough affection to the people they love, I guess that is just me though. I guess the truth be told I am a hopeless romantic.

Prior to this Endeavour I spent almost 10 years in the Army as a Reconnaissance Scout. I loved my job and would of kept on doing it if it had not been for my shoulder going south on me. I do keep in contact with a lot of my Army Peeps, it is a Fraternity I will be a part of till the day I die. SCOUTS OUT!!!

I am also very into Aviation and as soon as I get my degree I will be going back to flying, I used to fly when I was a kid and got as far as a Solo License in Gliders, but there are no glider ports up here so it looks like a power rating will be in my future. One day I will own a Piper Meridian!!!

A nice dinner or even a picnic I think the Movie thing is over rated. I mean how are you going to get to know someone if your watching a d*mn flick.
