Don't like talking about myself, but I guess I kinda have to. I'll start with the obvious: I'm a soldier and thus far a one time veteran of the Iraq war. The most meaningful time of my life was spent working the beat in the town of Tarmiyah, twenty miles north of Baghdad city limits. I'm glad that I was able to be part of a solution to a serious and complicated problem, and that I left it a better place than when I came.

The Army and Iraq have been the best things that ever happened to me, but I try, to have a life outside of it. I enjoy routine exercise consisting of body weight calestinics, swimming laps, and long distance jogging. I enjoy watching movies and try to see a new flick each week. I'm deccent at swing dance, and after being out of it fo a few years, I've. I'm a serious news and politics junkie, who enjoys learning about the issues of the day and our perspectives about them. I'm also a Christian man... or I guess I'm "Christian-Lite". It doesn't define me, but acknowledging the Almighty certainly has it's place in my life... and I'm much, much more.

Something active and where we're doing something. Admittedly, I can be a little reserved when meeting new people, it takes time for me to warm up to someone. I could not contend well in a date where we sit down and talk. Can't go wrong with a night of bowling and Chuck E. Cheese.
