Grandfather, Dad, Uncle, Me, Brother, Nephew

I grew up in rural Pennsylvania and started working at around 10 years old. I played baseball until I graduated from high school and joined the Army. I was stationed at Fort Benning for four years and never left and now I have over 30 years of service.

I enjoy the shotgun sports including trap, skeet, and sporting clays.

I love rainy days   and  the  shade  of a  big  tree  and  my dog  Hazel  by  my  side.

I am looking forward to retirement somewhere in southern half of the Appalachian mountains.
