• I'm a thirty year old "redneck" from Missouri.I have a small family and a cool job,I can't tell you who I work for but it's the largest explosive manufacturing company in the world.
• Life in the Ozarks is slow but not boring if you know how to make the most of it.I grew up on a 300 acre cattle ranch.I was always shooting or hunting if I wasn't working with my dad.For some reason people think that farmers are not very intelligent,however,consider that in agriculture you have to be a jack of all trades unless you want to pay someone else and that cuts into profits.
• I learned to operate nearly every machine and heavy equipment put on earth (if it moves I can drive it)and how to troubleshoot it.I learned diesel,gasoline,small engine mechanics,hydraulics,pneumatics, as well as cutting, fitting,and welding metal.

At an early age I got interested in military art and science.As years went by I acquired more knowledge and more weapons.At age twelve I received a Remington 700 adl in .30-06,before I knew it I was popping targets at 400-500 yards.

I learned as much as I could about firearms and ballistics as I could,every book,magazine,or anyone that had anything in their head worth knowing was sought out.Now I have a pretty good arsenal;I still have that .30-06

a marlin bolt action .22,a savage 913 .17 hmr

a Franchi 912 variomax 12 gauge 2 3/4" to 3 1/2" magnum,

a Ruger GP 100 in .357 magnum revolver,a Ruger mark III 22/45

a Springfield 1911 a1 that I customized

a custom Olympic Arms AR-15 that I formatted to an M-4 with an Ace ARFX LE buttstock,EGRESS bolt upgrade,titanium firing pin,ARMS S.I.R.S rail with the #40 flip up rear sight,aSamco G-27 grip,a CMMG 1/7" twist step cut 16" barrel,and a Surefire M-500 light and grip, and I'm just getting started with this baby..

My bug out bag, which almost always stays in my vehicle unless I'm using it or servicing it,primarily consist of Blackhawk od green tactical web gear.It weighs almost 70lbs but has backpack straps or can be emptied and donned and use the bag to pick up more gear.
