Well, I talk so much about everything else, I'm not sure I have anything left to say about myself!
I won't bore you all with the story that is "ME," but I will tell you all a little about what I am doing presently.
I live in the Ozark Mountains, and my family has been in this region for more than 170 years. My first Missouri ancestor preached here in the hills on a circuit route he traveled by mule.
I wear several hats these days:
Husband -- My wife and I have been married 17 years
Dad -- My oldest daughter is 15, my youngest daughter is nearly 12, and my son is 5
Insurance Broker -- This is my day job . . .hate it, but it pays the bills
Preacher -- I have been preaching full time for nearly a decade, but my family needed to settle in one place for a while. Now, I preach on a part-time basis, but it is still my priority, professionally speaking.
Corn snake breeder -- I have loved reptiles and been collecting them for some thirty years, but I got into corns only a few years ago. I bred my first clutch three years ago and have been addicted ever since. I'm expecting 100-150 hatchlings this year.
Golfer -- I'm terrible, but I love it!
Former Sailor and Soldier -- I'm one of the few that has actually served in two of the armed forces, and I am proud to have served with honor. If they ever call up the old, fat boy brigade, I'm there! Course, if they do . . .you might want to move to Mexico, 'cause we're in trouble if I'm what's left!!!!!!!
Faunaclassifieds addict -- Love this board!!!
Well, that's me in a nutshell. Hope you enjoy learning a bit more about me. I look forward to reading about each of you too!
