About Me

About Me

Okay, a little about me… well, I’m a 37 year old male who is currently living in my parents back room. Man, that makes me sound like a loser.  I recenly got a new job a small firm in Johnson City, New York.  It’s about a half-hour drive from my parents place and close to where I want to move.  I like it a lot so far!  I have 3 lovely daughters and a beautiful girlfriend. I am a HUGE fan of Halo and the Xbox. I like action movies, science fiction books, and pizza.
