About Me
Therapist - LCSW Practice Tia Chi EVERY MORNING! Make sure to take ALL my meds, as I have been stable for a year and a half now (I have mixed episodes - so this is very positive) I also have GAD (no meds, meditation and Tia Chi seem to help me stay calm).

Interests
Well, I love my Fiance she is a big part of my support system. I pay with my dog (Lady) every day; she's an Aussie an requires lots of play time because she has so much energy. Playing my acoustic guitar, classic rock/altertive mostly - it's seen me though many hard time! I love to drag race/drift/& work on my cars. My fiance likes racing to, so that's a plus! I am an avid hunter (bow and rifle), fisherman, and overall an outdoors man. I love being outside - one with nature and all. I also shoot competitively (hand guns 9mm and .22 pistols) and long range shooting 200+ yards. (I can put a hole through a quater at 200 yards, easy)! That's me in a nutshell (no pun intended - LOL). I also smoke and collect pipes (tobacco) and I love a good cigar (not one of those ones you see on the counter at the gas station)! I also volunteer at the local IMPACT Center where we help adults learn to read, prepare students/adults to get the GEDs, computer training, and English as a Second Language. "Practice random acts of randomness!"

- I take 4 mg through the day.
- Meditation Working / Worked
- I practice Tia Chi every morning! Works wonders!
