Birthday:  Oct. 14th

Job:  Daddy, the best job in the world!  I am, however, a victim of the current recession (still waiting for my bailout though!)

Sexual Orientation:  Whatever the woman wants, 'cause it's all good.  Have been known to sexually disorient some partners ;-P

Status:  Married with two wonderful kids (notice I said wonderful kids)

Religion:  excommunicated Mormon...and that'll take some 'splaining.

Diseases/Disabilities/Allergies:  Who wants any of those?

Smokes:  Trying to quit

Drinks:  Back in the day...like a fish.  Now occassionally.

Apperance:  Stocky, but I want to look like Cole when I grow up.:D

Distinguishing Features:  No tats, but a few scars

Personality:  (in five words or less):  out-going, funny (as in ha-ha), charming, sweet, relaxed

Hometown:  I grew up in a little town of 450 people called Society Hill in SC, I currently live in the slightly bigger town of Darlington (as you NASCAR fans will know, is home to the "Track to Tough To Tame")

Background:  Well...I lived in the sticks to start with surrounded by farms, so I was either working in the fields or with my Dad, who owned his own construction company.  I was a bit of a redneck I suppose.  I attended a high school that required a 60-mile round trip everyday by bus mainly on dirt roads.  Luckily, I transcended the cliques there because I played football, played in the band, was in the Beta/Drama/Spanish Clubs, was in the FFA...you see what I mean.  I graduated third in my class with all kinds of useless honors and got a free ride to a small liberal arts college...where it just wasn't the art that was liberal (hehe).  Got my degree in criminology with hopes of going to law school (and was accepted to three), but didn't have the dough and didn't know enough of the right people to go.

I've worked as a convienence store manager, an armored car guard, a security supervisor, and a probation/parole agent for the state of SC.  Worked at Lowe's for 11 years finally making assistant store manager and until they closed the doors, I was a logistics specialist for a plant that made polyester fiber.  Been married 12 years and own everything I got but the house (but we're inside 10 years, baby!).  If I think of anything more interesting...I'll add it.

Activities:  Being Daddy; typical redneck games---hunting, fishing, making moonshine (just kidding!).  Avid history buff and reader.  Prefer movies to TV (although House, CSI, and Dexter are cool)...hell I do all kinds of stuff when I ain't simming....lol

Likes:  Do I have to list all my fetishes too?

Dislikes:  Being considered a typical male; people who lack common sense; most things having  to do with my wife (save my kids of course); Lowe's; politics

Favorite Quote:

Favorite Authors/Books:  Edgar Allan Poe, Arthur Conan Doyle, John Updike, Jack London, Charles Dickens, George Orwell, Tom Clancy, Stephen King, Dean Kootnz, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Thomas Jefferson, John Stuart Mill.  I love history books, especialy those well-researched ones that contradict established the established historical record.  I'm currently reading some of the "classic" books that I missed in school, though.  Just finished The Picture of Dorian Gray and am reading The Exile at the moment.
