I'm 41 years old. I've spent time as a soldier, electrician, accountant, data center operator, and PC technician. I've built small networks and large ones. I'm familiar with most computer issues you may have. I like to help people and to be of use with my skill-set. Currently I work as IT Manager at Belmont Beverage Stores of Northeast Indiana. I love my job and the people I work with are awesome.

Most of my adult life has been defined by helping people and working with technology.

Currently - those two skills mesh nicely in the work I do, and I like that very much.
Also, it pays the bills.

sometimes, my spelling is so bad, i can't believe it. thank goodness for spell check.

At twenty-five years old, having just finished 5 years in the Army, I was in the best shape in my life. At forty - with my current workout, I plan to get back there. The machine is a little older, but everything still works great.

I carry several industry certifications and will be collecting more soon.

So far: CompTIA A+ Core Hardware, Os Technologies

Next up: MCSE

I like my orange juice with extra pulp.

I prefer girls with glasses (for extra smarties minor fetish).

If I had to list my interests: Photography, Digital Camera, Coffee, Ancient History, Books, Buddhism, Cold War History, Conspiracies, Counterculture, Evolution, Film Noir, Fine Arts, Horror Movies, Mythology, Self Improvement

I used to be married, but not since 2003. My ex-wife and I had a son, Connor - who is almost 16 years old. He spends part of the year with each of us. He is the shizzle and probably my favorite person in the world.

no plans for (conceiving) any more children ever, so if this is a deal breaker, please move on.

[Update] - recently (a few months) I've begun to consider that I might be a little uptight about cuisine and diet. I probably don't eat like you do. I don't eat a lot of meat (perhaps 25% of my meals, at best) and I don't eat the "typical" American portion. I'm not dieting, just attempting to have some healthy discipline about what (and how much) I eat. Probably drive someone nuts, I'd imagine.

From My Facebook Profile:
I like to collect photographs of the people, places and events that affect my life, the way other people might make a scrapbook. Although I am both an expert marksman and fairly athletic, I care for neither guns nor sports.

Never underestimate what you can do without.

I have no enemies and I can't understand why anyone would keep track of such a thing. I do not follow any religion. I can be spiritual without being a nutcase.

I am a survivor of the 1980's. inescapably, the music, film, and style still permeates the fabric of my existence.

At twenty-five years old, having just finished 5 years in the Army, I was in the best shape in my life. At thirty-nine - with my current workout, I plan to get back there. The machine is a little older, but everything still works great.

.

I am mindful, focus, and calm.

Settled in Fort Wayne, managing IT controls for a local retail liquor store chain. love it.

I like to watch and critique movies, but I don't do TeeVee. Conversation, and coffee drinks are good stuff. I can probably fix your computer.

I've become a very serious fan of wine from South America, and Spain. Rum with Ginger Beer is quite yummy too. In the right season, Long Island Iced Tea is amazing.

I like to play a game called "Go". It is possibly the oldest board game in human record. It predates Chess by centuries. It is easy to learn the rules to play. I don't expect to ever master it. I can beat most Americans I meet. I will avoid young Asian kids as opponents, they are scary Go experts in the guise of children.

I've recently gotten back into Warhammer 40k. I do love toy soldiers.

I'm tall. and skinny. I wear glasses. New dog is salt and pepper terrier mix.

I enjoy cooking and eating all kinds of food. I'm totally omnivorous. I promise never to make a dish too spicy as that can really ruin the mean for those who don't like hot food.

Let me add some TV. after much prodding from friends, I have watched all of:
Six Feet Under
Venture bros.
Metalocalypse
Heroes

good writing. very fun. still not hooked on the TV

I consider being well versed in literature and film a virtue. If not, I'm happy to loan books and watch movie with you.

TV Shows: TV is a stain on our culture. Network news is a dinosaur of propaganda and lies.

no TV in the house for 6+ years...not missing it either!

Netflix and hulu fit way better!.

sex. food. wine. coffee. internet. my dog. internet, sex, food - rinse, repeat.

the future. technology. civil disobedience Tolerance.

home watching movies or out having a drink. Enjoying eating out, reading, watching movies and playing games online. I've recently acquired the habit of spending my evenings at a local coffee shop where they make lovely lattes and mochas. It's so good to just get out.

I have this bizarre fantasy that lovers can also be friends. I have this equally bizarre fantasy that love, loyalty, affection and attention could be enough.

Have you defined what exactly "enough" is for you? Consider it.

Lately, I'm asking myself this a lot.

you can accept that I am beyond conversion to whatever you believe in. If you have a sense of humor that stretches from monty python to Metalocalypse. I'm horribly busy during the week, but usually free on weekends.
