31, no wife, kids or pets just me in my little house, a bunch of tools in the garage and a mini junkyard outside with 4 Fords, 3 VW's a garden tractor and some random junk. Unfortunately only 2 of the Fords currently run, only one registered and safe enough to be on the road..
I went to school for mechanical engineering then decided that wasn't for me. Into my 6th year as a math teacher at an urban high school. In the summers I work/volunteer at a Boy Scout camp.
