I am a husband and a father to three children that are quite a handful, but a joy to have at the same time. I'm doing the best I can day by day, I work, I go to school, I workout, just surviving many days.

Prior service Army. I'm a security professional by trade. I enjoy studying the arts, martial arts and also enjoy physical fitness. I also enjoy hiking and wish I had a chance to do more of it.

I believe in values, integrity and that character counts. I'm a social and fiscal conservative on many issues, but have been known to bend on some. I am Pro-life, pro-gun, pro-business, pro-traditional marriage. I feel that values and traditions are essential to our society and that discarding them at a whim, risk deteriorating our society into a humanistic cess pool, where personal desire trumps all else with no regard to social impact.

I come out here to SH to learn about people and broaden my knowledge base, I really enjoy this site. There are some very insightful people here and I have learned much from them. I learned a long time ago that the first key to Wisdom is knowing that you don't know it all.

However, while I appreciate diversity, I believe that at the altar of diversity people are liable to sacrifice identity and lose who they are. It is worthy to understand another's point of view, but it is more worthy to know your own and stand for it.

But above all else I love to laugh and make people laugh. I hope that when we get through talking about what we have in common and what our differences are, that at we can look back and laugh a little bit about it all.
