I grew up in East Texas, spent time in the military, several years in law enforcement and emergency management, worked as an independent contractor, worldwide, spent time in Iraq providing the construction and initial operation of the AFRTS/AFN military radio and tv system for the troops...provided consulting, engineering and technical support for the offshore oil industry,maritime service, military and other commercial communications services.......teach part time (college,university, industrial training) Looking to stay in the local area and avoid any future extensive traveling..Hobbies include amateur radio, storm chasing and documentation, fishing, long range rifle and pistol shooting ....... I find it interesting and alarming as to how many people will read and delete a simple hello without a simple acknowledgement of the interest in their profile. In addition, I have no use for deception and/or misrepresention, both of which seem to run rampant on dating sites .........Makes one wonder as to what our society is developing into..............

meet, have a cup of coffee, etc......see what, if any, chemistry exists.... :)..would enjoy a long term relationship with the right person.
