Howdy all,
My name is Mike, I live in Albuquerque, NM. I am a stay at home dad,
, I homeschool 4 kids, 
, and I build 1/35 scale military models, mostly from WW II, and usually I build them as rusty, burnout or abandoned. 
. Usually all of the above....
I started rodeo'g in 1991 in HS, and also started playing drums as well, mostly country and rock. 
. I love everything from west Texas swing to Mark Knopfler to Sting 
. I have played with Clint Black, Sara Evans, Eddie Money, Chris LeDoux, and George Strait and the guys @ Ace in The Hole band are good friends.
Like I said, I am a stay at home dad, my wife works full time as a manager at a pizzeria here. (*!z@I got hurt at work in 2006, I have had over 20 knee and leg surgeries since the accident, and am on permanent pain management for chronic pain. I also play alot of Xbox,
, my gamertag is Brutus1175, so if you're on Xbox Live, hit me up. I also love to cook, and am a certified pitmaster. 
A good friend that I used to rodeo with came down with testicular cancer in 2002.
I have been a residential contractor since 1993, but I also worked as a deputy sheriff for several years 
(working 2 jobs) , so I already had a high and tight. When he went through chemo, several of us who used to rodeo together all shaved our heads. That was in early 2002 and guess what ?? I haven't bought a bottle of shampoo since !!! 
And yes, he's still cancer free. 
Anyway, that's my story and I'm glad to be here.
P.S....I use womens Satin Care
and a Gillette Mach 3 razor daily
