About me

Gender Male
Industry Student
Occupation I work construction.
Location Chattanooga, TN, United States
Introduction I am a Christian: a follower of Christ. I seek to obey the Father's commandments, to love Him more everyday, to seek Truth, to be at peace with all men, to do good to others, and to be submissive to the leadings of the Holy Spirit. I am passionately in love with and utterly committed to the most amazing woman I have ever met, my wife and the mother of our two children, Melanie. I am the fourth in family of nine kids from Chattanooga, TN. I am laid-back and hate whining, am a relationship oriented extroverted-introvert. I'm very hard to gross out, and fight like a tiger. I was home schooled, did martial arts for 5 years, did Mock Trial for 4 years, did 4-H and Awana 4th-12th, and Studied English Literature, Bible, and Chemistry at Bryan College.
Interests I love the out doors, fishing, hunting, hiking, camping, tree and rock climbing, swimming, boating, you name it. I really really love reading books especially old classics (see book list) and I am a LOTR and StarWars nerd. I love to write and am currently working on four novels. I love to cook, it's really not that hard to make really good food if you have a little bit of sense and some good ingredients. I love music, I can sing and though I can't play anything worth a flip I love to listen to those that can. I love movies too; watching and critiquing them (afterward of course; people that talk during someone's first time seeing a movie drive me crazy). I love talking but I also love just listening to others too and I keep secrets better than the grave. Other than the above my areas of expertise include: building fires and playing with fireworks, and climbing trees (well really I climb just about anything).
Favorite Movies LOTR, Equilibrium, Brave Heart, Star Wars IV, The Matrix, Born Identity (some of the most realistic fight scenes ever), The Ghost and The Darkness, Treasure Island (with Charleston Heston), The Patriot, The Passion of the Christ, The Fugitive, The Village, Signs, The Island, Second Hand Lions, Batman Begins Begins, The Prestige, The Illusionist, Batman: The Dark Knight, Big Fish...
