Born and raised in Nothern California, I am a second generation Swedish American. I joined the Army right out of high school (pre 9/11) because all of my money disappeared when the stock I had it stashed in went bankrupt. I fought in Iraq with the 101st Airborne in 2003, suffering some injuries, but I've since fully recovered.

After being discharged from the Army I moved to UC Irvine to attend school (social psychology and criminal justice double) and get married. The marriage didn't work out as she was the domineering, possessive and manipulative type; it also didn't help that she was a medical student and was never around. The divorce is quite recent and I had an epiphany: that I have always been afraid of approaching women, which has resulted in crazy, domineering women opening me. I needed to turn things around and seek out the beautiful women who weren't cut from the "fatal attraction" material. I began by buying some books and trying to better understand people and The Game.

I'm fairly decent in bars, but I'm still working on improving my confidence level and meeting the HBs that I've always dreamed of.
