I was raised on a 1200 acre beef farm in southwest Missouri. 

I joined the US Navy at the age of 21 in 1996,  and served tours in Virginia Beach Virginia, Patuxent River, MD as an aviation Electrician , Kansas city, MO as a recruiter, from there I was stationed at Naval Air station Lemoore, CA, again as an aviation Electrician. I honorably retired in 2016 at the rank of Senior Chief rounding out a 20 year Naval career.    

In 2016 I started a second career for a class 1 Railroad as locomotive electrician.   I am a father of two 12 year old girls (twins), and
I have been dating my partner for a little over a year now. We currently reside in Evansville Indiana.  

My hobbies include fitness, sleeping, mechanical pursuits, and traveling to various events with my partner who is active in the leather community.
