About me

Location Salt Lake City, Utah, United States
Introduction I'm a late 30s American, born and bred, descended mostly from English, German, and Swedish stock. We've been around a while - one of my ancestors fought in the Revolutionary War. (For the Colonials). I live in Salt Lake City, UT, although ideally I would live in Las Vegas, NV, or Denver, CO. I am a veteran of the US Army, and of Desert Storm, having spent eight years on active duty, plus a few more with the Nat'l Guard and U.S. Army Reserves. I have visited all 50 states, and have lived in 14 of them. I have visited 9 foreign countries, on 4 continents, and have lived in 3 of them. My work experience has been in customer service, the restaurant industry, the military, and long-haul trucking. I am a bone-deep optimist. I believe that America has a very bright future in the 21st century, and that no nation will overtake the U.S. in terms of economic or military strength before the end of the century. I used to be a football fan, but I've decided that watching sports is not the best use of my time.
