I'm Irish, German, and AMERICAN!! I live in Orland Park. I work for the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railway full-time. I'm a Marine, got out in 1999, "once a Marine always a Marine." SEMPER FI!!! While in the Corps, I lived in the Far East (Okinawa and Japan) for almost five years, been to Thailand and Korea, and also climbed Mount Fuji. I spent two semesters at ISU. In my free time I go to the gym (Lifetime Fitness), read, go to the movies, or sit home and watch movies, go to my boys' house for cook-outs and wrestling, and hold and soon play with my godson Eric, the brightest star in my life right now.
