I am a divorced father of four children. My first son Will, I haven't seen in over 4 years. His mother took off to Tennessee and I don't have the mean to travel there and see him. My other two children, (Nash,6 and Nathaniel,3) I have been getting every weekend. Their grandparents have custody because after their mom gained custody in court she signed over custody to her parents. She left me after being together for over 8 years because she found someone else when she went to Texas to help out her sister. She now resides in Tennessee with my first ex-wife! My fourth child is a little girl. Her name is Brianna and she was born Feb. 28th, 2008. I love her very much as I do all my children. Her mother and I live together and our relationship is great. She works as the assistant manager at a local gas station.
I am the lead cook/supervisor on the local carferry the S.S. Badger. I travel from Michigan to Wisconsin every day aboard the ship. It's fun watching everyone stumble all over the place because they don't have their "sea legs". The pay is actually a lot better than you would think and hopefully I will be called back every year because I really like this job.
I play softball every year. Last year I led my team in RBIs (Runs Batted In) and hope to repeat that yet again this year. I was plagued by injuries last year starting with a simple pulled groin muscle. That injury plagued me all year! I also blew out my throwing arm. I have to wear a brace on that now and I am not supposed to be playing softball either! But I'm stubborn and figured if I had to give up playing golf then I wasn't about to quit softball as well! So I rehabed the arm on my own and hope that it will keep up for this season. I also have two bum knees. (Yeah I know I should just quit!) I blew my right knee out in high school my senior year! It was the last game my father ever got to watch me play and he had to see me get hurt. Oh well that's the way life just is I guess. I screwed up my left knee while breaking up a bar fight when I was working as a bouncer.
I am a bass guitar player and a singer. I am currently in two different bands. My more serious band's name is Floodlight. Everyone in the band splits the singing duties. We just started jamming in July and I have a really good feeling about this one. So if you are ever in Ludington, come check us out. We will periodically be playing on Saturdays at Crow's Nest Bar along side of Blue Rose Karaoke.
Well if there is anything else that anyone wants to know, go ahead and write me sometime. I should be able to respond in an orderly fashion! lol
