Let's see... I 'm from Utah...the asshole of the universe... I just got out of the army
after 9 years, where I was a MP/K9 handler than a Ranger Medic. And now I'm in the
M.D./Ph.D. Progam at Emory University in Atlanta, GA. In my free time, I train for
triathlon (swim 2.4 miles, bike 112m, than run 26.2 ) six days a week, and Aikido, four
times a week. I also train my puppies for Schutzhund trials. I LOVE pargliding, it is
truely the most peaceful experience. I also skydive, rockclimb, scuba dive, and BASE
jump. None of he above professionally though. Jack of all trades, master of none...thats
me.


Quotes I like:

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state
of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The
person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important
than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free
unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
-John Stuart Mill

“Those who have long enjoyed such privileges as we enjoy forget in time that men have died
to win them."
-Franklin D. Roosevlet

“I thought dying for your country was the worst thing that could happen to you. I think
killing for your country can be a lot worse. Because that's the memory that haunts.”
-Bob Kerry

“I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its
brutality, its futility, its stupidity.”
-Dwight D. Eisenhower

"All that is essential for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."
- Edmund Burke

"God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and
defend it."
- Daniel Webster

"Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into
the Force. Mourn them, do not. Miss them, do not. Attachment leads to jealousy. The shadow
of greed that is. Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose." —Yoda
"The fear of loss is a path to the Dark Side." —Yoda
