I would like to say that I am just your everyday ordinary joe, but I have done and seen too much in my life. I am married and will be 17 years in December 06. I am also a father of 3 children, 2 girls and a boy. My oldest was 15 1/2 years old and was killed this last summer in a car accident while she was returning home from summer vacation with my mother in law. She was my shining star and some one I looked up to because she always remained true to herself and no one could ever change her. My second daughter is 13 going on 30. A total rebel and I wouldn't have her any other way. My son is 9 and is totally fearless. I consider myself overly blessed because I could share in their lives. I was also in the Marines and was in Kuwait 90 to 91. One of the first there, first in and last to leave. I was also sent to Somalia during Operation Restore Hope. After that I did a year and a half in the Army and decided that it was best for me to be at home with my family that all over the world trying to be a hero. Being a hero and friend to my kids is more than I ever need.
