I am an adventurer by nature and have fit a lot into a short period of time. I have traveled the world from Europe to the Middle East all the way to Asia. I currently live in Hong Kong with my wonderful wife and my spoiled dog. I am a conservative and if you are a liberal you will lose any argument with me...only because I never enter into an argument where I lack sufficient knowledge to make my case. If you don't like me it is only because you haven't had a chance to get to know me. I love all things active and enjoy reading anything I can get my hands on...knowledge is gained from the written word and experience is gained from first hand engagements...a combination of the two is dangerous. I have seen death, experienced fear and pain and have lived to tell about and I still always have a smile on my face...I am eternal optimist with the knowledge that evil does exist.
