Born in Houston Texas left for the navy 3 days after i graduated high school did 4 years in the navy as a combat search and rescue swimmer also did 3 tours of duty in iraq and helped with hurricane Katrina rescue efforts. In 2007 i decided to return to my home town and attend college where i double majored in geology and geography at Sam Houston state. i was born with dyslexia and diagnosed at a early age and have come alone way every word i know how to spell is all from memory. My reading is just fine its just spelling and punctuation that i have issues with so if your a grammar Nazi im probably not the guy for you. I graduated with honors and received no special attention due to my issue i take pride in my self and others. I'm always courteous and try to do the right thing i come from a great family and i really enjoy my life im. New to the whole on line dating thing and decided to give it a try due to im always working and don't have time to go out much any more. im country threw and threw but don't mistake that with red neck. I also enjoy sports and im very competitive i hate losing. i giveshow respect at all times even to the ones who do not deserve it. im currently employed as a land surveyor but geology and science are my real passion i soon hope to find a career in the geophysics community.I like to consider my self highly intelligent and enjoy intelligent conversation. Don't judge me by my tattoos they all have deep meaning mostly from my time in the Iraqi war.
