I am originally from Brooklyn, NY. I graduated from PalmSprings HS in PalmSprings, Ca. I was in the U.S. Army from about 8 years. I was stationed at Ft. Riley, KS, several places in Hawaii, and Ft Richie, MD. I was a COMSEC Technician. I got out in Nov 97. Been in Omaha, NE since then. I graduated from ITT Tech in December of 1999 with a A.A.S. degree in Electronic Engineering.
I was married for 8 years and I have 2 girls, 6 and 4. I have been divorced for almost 4 yrs. I have a fiance now that I have been with for 3 years. She is my best friend and the best thing that has happened to me, besides my two girls. The tenative wedding date is around June of 2k5.
As far as my love for cars, I grew up around cars. Both my uncles had car lots. I spent lots of time there working on cars. In Cali, when I was in HS, my stepdad repo'd cars. I used to go with him allot and help him. This was so much fun and I laugh at the guys on the TV show Repo men. Its such a joke. I got to drive allot of fine rides. We also used to buy beat up cars, fix them up and sell them.
When I was in Hawaii, I got bit by the import bug. I bought a new 92 Honda civic vx hatch. Loved that car. That's where my love for imports came from and has grown since then. I have been involved in import stuff here in Omaha since 97. I was part of a formerly big car club for years, called Contagious. I do race Auto-X and Drag race and I am looking into roadracing. I used to have a 13sec N/A Del Sol that me and my friends from 4NSPEED (a defunct tuner shop now) built. I now have this P5, which has seen better days, and I'm working on making it a sweet ride.
Just a little info about me.
