An avid role-player turned sim junkie. I spent over a decade on the grid of Second Life, where I built and ran an airport on Mainland, led a role-play fire company, and managed groups bigger than most small towns. SL taught me a lot—mostly that high school drama doesn’t end at graduation.

These days I live in the real world (allegedly). I’m married, raising four daughters and a newborn son (send caffeine), working in systems integration & security for the family business, and serving as a Volunteer Firefighter. Conservative, armed, opinionated, and unapologetic.

I roll sim-heavy: Microsoft Flight Simulator, Assetto Corsa, American Truck Sim (in a flat-nosed Pete 362, of course), and FiveM when I feel like causing chaos. VR headset usually strapped on, steering wheel clutched, freedom playlist in the background.

Second Life taught me this:
"Watch who you trust— even your teeth bite your tongue now and again. SL is a dangerous mixture of RL thoughts, emotions, & entirely too much anonymity, an amazing world where people & places come & go in the blink of an eye."

Sim life’s cheaper than therapy—and louder.
