(The Author)
   This is my first attempt at a true web site. I have decided to do this mainly as a release for myself as I have no other way for my voice to be heard. I have grown very weary of all the bullshit that has been bandied about as fact. I am tired of being labeled a criminal just because I happen to own firearms. I am sick and tired of all the idiots out there who don't know the facts and yet they have chosen sides. I HAVE HAD IT !!!!!

    I was born in 1970. I have been shooting since I could walk. I own a few guns. I believe that my guns pose ABSOLUTELY no threat to society! On the contrary, my guns are a deterrent to crime, and therefore BENEFIT society.

     Looking at the photo above you may get the impression that I am just a beer-swilling, dumb-ass, backwoods redneck. You would be sadly mistaken. Nothing could be further from the truth. I graduated from Armwood High School in January of 1988. (Do the math! I got out early not late!) I then bounced around from job to job for two years. The next step was the Army. I would not want to repeat my experience there, but I would not trade it for all the money in the world. When I got out in 1994 I got a job with a local rain gutter installer. In August '95 I entered a four year Electrical Apprenticeship program. About half way through my second year in the program, I suffered a back injury that left me unable to do all that was expected of me. The electrical contractor that I was employed with also had a Systems division. (Installing and testing phone , security, fire alarm, and intercom systems. As well as Cat 5 data networks.) They offered to transfer me to that division, as the work is less physical, and allowed me to continue with the apprenticeship. I graduated from the apprenticeship program at the top of my class. I was in the top three every year. Before you start to say "Wow you graduated from a trade school!" (in a sarcastic tone), allow me to point out that out of the 42 That started the program, only 14 of us graduated! There is quite a bit of trigonometry and calculus involved in electrical theory, and even some of the collage grads that were in the program could not do it. I am now a foreman for an electrical contractor in Tampa. I am currently in charge of the electrical installation for new ticket booths at the Florida State Fair Grounds. My last project was the remodeling of a school. My brains are very much intact. It would be unwise to judge me stupid on my looks alone.
