Single father of 5 aging in ages from 8 to 22. I recently was blessed with a grandson also. I am a partner in a commercial construction business with my best friend of the last 37 years. I must have inherited my love of cooking from my grandmothers.
I love spending time at the bar with my buddies, camping with my son, watching him ride his "toys" and I love to ride my own "toy" Harley Davidson. I am a die hard UT Longhorn fanatic. Love watching all sports, Cowboys will always rule the NFL. Gordon is the man in NASCAR. Yankees suck. As do the Red Wings, and Celtics. How many of you have I made mad? At least I am a fan and care. Go Longhorns, Cowboys, Mavs, Stars, Rangers (yeah right the Rangers are fun to laugh at anyway).
