About Me:

I am a 37 year old Divorced father of 2 beautiful children who mean the world to me.

My kids and hers are very active in sports so we do a lot of running, but it's all good they grow way to fast. With my day job they let me leave work (the factory is across the street from the station) if we get a fire call so there has been many times I don't see my kids till sometimes the next day and I have missed games because of it , but my kids know I am doing something to help others.
