More about me

WARNING --- BS  Follows !!!!!--

********************************
 
     I was a three sport star in college,  a doctor, participated in the first moon walk, quarter backed the  Dallas Cowboys to a Super bowl Championship,  worked for the CIA, was a millionaire at 28 and a Physics Professor. Was a serious biker and a Vice President of one of Americas largest companies. And none of this is TOTALLY false !

    OK --- NOW for the TRUTH:
             I did compete in football, basketball and track but was frequently a  bench warmer - My Ph.D is in Mechanical Engineering - I got CUT by the Dallas Cowboys in a year they won the super bowl - I designed a major part of the fuel tanks on the Lunar Excursion Module (yes,I am aware that does make me a rocket scientist)  - I did work briefly for the CIA on a classified device - I made nearly two million dollars in the stock market by the time I was 28, but then lost most of it - I taught Physics (part time)at Purdue University, Indianapolis campus - I had a radically chopped Harley knucklehead and rode with the "Coffin Cheaters", had colors tats, pony tail, the whole nine yards (the tats were removed) - I was VP R&D for a Fortune first 300 company when I retired at age 48 to play with my kids  

   See,I told you none of this BS was TOTALLY false. Now for some other details:

I am a native of Eastern NC and went to NCSU. My Studio picture was a 60th. birthday gift - 66now - and the Gold Shirt basketball picture is from Feb.16,2008.The wicker chair picture was taken early 2008 at the barbershop - It's pitiful when you have to bribe strangers to take your picture! I have two sons ages 22 & 23 and neither actually lives with me but a lot of there STUFF does - what a mess! I have been divorced awhile and don't have any baggage at all. I am very active in senior sports - I play with the state champions in basketball and do well nationally in my track events (sprints, hurdles, long jump).I am 6'3" tall and 204 lbs. I don't drink or smoke but I don't mind if you do.
     I am very easy going (don't let the red hair fool you) and not at all hard to get along with. I have a reasonably quick wit and really enjoy friendly teasing and trading smart-ass remarks. I can also be scholarly and serious. I try to respect the opinions and feeling of others and work hard every day at becoming a better person.

MORE  SERIOUS   PROFILE

________________________________

       My biggest challenge is trying to decide what I am going to be if and/or when I grow up! ------------- I was reared on the N.C coast and went to NCSU on athletic scholorship. Proved to be a better scolar than jock and ended up with more degrees than varsity letters (B.S, M.S & Ph.D in Mechanical Engineering).

     Took the kind of jobs that don't last very long but pay very well and after moving many times was able to retire quite early (@ age 47). Still have a small business which builds catalytic converters and still add a patent to my list every so often( Edison's record total of 900+ is very safe).

       I stay very active in senior athletics ( play on the state champions "Old Farts" basketball team and run sprints/hurdles in Masters track). I actually have won more trophies and awards recently than I did "back in the day". Workout daily and don't smoke or drink, but have no problem with those who do this differently.

        I am well read, have a good sense of humor, try to be considerate of others and have a sense of adventure.

      My descriptions are FAIRLY truthful,  I'm six foot three, 204 lbs.and have a ratty mess of more or less "full coverage" graying red hair.
