I'm the middle child.

Married on the beach.

Engaged to my wife 3 months after we met. Married 11 months after we met. Going strong at 3.5 years!

I graduated from NC State in biochemistry, but I bleed Carolina blue!

I love the outdoors--camping, hiking, mountain biking, mountains, beach, lake, you name it.

I love to go 4-wheeling with my FJ or ATV when I get a hold of one.

I enjoy target shooting.

I'm a news and political junkie as most of you can probably tell. :P

I love waterfalls!

Spring is my favorite season.

I've worked in public health in enteric pathogens and bioterrorism for over 3 years.

I love to landscape and work out in the yard - it's a wonderful stress reliever for me!

I'm a conservative independent.

I have a self diagnosed with wifey confirmation case of OCD.

I like Broadway shows and musicals...can't wait for my first opera.

I have a very eclectic taste for music.

I love to cook.

I love plants!

I love MMA and will hopefully begin training in Jiu Jitsu soon.

I played basketball, baseball, and soccer through high school. I love playing tennis, golf, and beach volleyball.

We love to travel and our favorite place yet was Costa Rica where we spent 12 days on our honeymoon.

And I care for each and every one of you no matter how heated some topics may get!

No wonder we get along so well

despite that oddity, most of my life consisted of mostly good decent average people, a middle-class environment; & because of the people/environment/lifestyle I was familiar with, I had no knowledge/experience/preparation for the kinds of people/lifestyle I encountered when I finally did relocate out of that area. what I was taught about "people are people... people are the same everywhere... don't pick people apart (meaning accept others as they are)" worked in my home environment but not in what I encountered afterward: in more than 10 years, everyone I've met has been alcholic, drug addicts, various types of mental problems, most were seriously messed up from child abuse, plus degrees of immorality that I never even knew existed. in trying to be "tolerant" of those differences, I found that being tolerant comes to mean people like that take advantage of you, & it's been one bad situation after another, resulting in my family being destroyed.

when I left NY in 1998, it was for the purpose of moving on with my life, and to provide a better life for my family. instead, everything has been destroyed & there's nothing left.

Hi Ceetee, there are many more here who are willing to help than at the ULC. We love you sister.
