Bio:
I was born in Calgary, Alberta Canada but spent many of my early years being raised by my Grandparents.  This has given me the lessons on respect and honor. Dropping out of high school early to pursue a life  of independence and freedom has led to a lot of various jobs. In each of these I excelled as high in the chain as possible. I tried the musician life and played on the A circuit in western Canada opening up for various bands including Quiet Riot and Darby Mills, Even played a gig with Lou Diamond Phillips and the pipefitters. Married in 1998 but divorced now. Have 3 children, two boys 19 and 11 and one girl 18.Went back to school in 2004 finished high school, 2006 Completed Computer Engineering with a 3.4 GPA. Now currently a production manager for a printing company with a major oil company account that keeps me quiet busy. Most jobs have been in some leadership role or another directing people under me. Playing AA3 for 10 years or so eventually I found my 7Cav brothers and switched to Arma Rotary squad and have found a childhood dream of flying.
