I started copying CDs to my hard drive in the fall of 2001 when my CD collection had exceeded 300. I had already done two tours overseas, lugging a 200 disc case double packed to the brim everywhere I went. The idea of dragging them around the world on MSG duty for three years wasn’t [...]

It’s podcast time! For the debut, I’ve selected an exclusive, one time interview with none other than Pfc McKee and Pvt Crowley: stellar Charlie Company Devil Dogs! The Marines attempt to explain the circumstances surrounding their mysterious superficial wounds sustained from the weekend. Today was a good day. I was back with my Marines. Back [...]

Born in the year of the Dragon, the author grudgingly accepts the fact he has too many interests and not enough time. A cyclist as long as he can remember, an avid yet inconsistent writer since age eleven, and a U.S. Marine since age twenty-one, the author also adds computers, snowboarding, and motorcycles to his list of interests. Incidentally, he is aware of his inability to make a living from any but the Corps. The author accepts this as fact and remains optimistic. Feel free to drop him a line.
