I was born and raised in Pittsburgh PA. At age 17, My family moved to Youngstown OH. I was raised catholic, and in my early 20's, I turned away from God and lived a life that I am not proud of. When I was 29, I moved to Las Vegas and my life spiraled out of control. I gambled and got drunk every chance I got. I finally had enough at age 34 and joined AA and GA. It was through the 12 steps that I found the Lord. In October of 2002, I was saved.
For the first few years after being saved, I attended Calvary Chapel, and occasionally, Canyon Ridge. They are fine churches, but I didn't feel a connection. I live only 1 mile from VBF, so I drove past there quite a bit. For whatever reason, I always felt drawn to it. I drive past churches all the time without giving them a 2nd look, but VBF always caught my eye. I finally decided to give it a try. I fell in love with VBF immediately and have been attending ever since.
I am divorced twice (not proud of it). I have been single since October 2005. I'm a member of the singles group in Vegas. Joining this group has been an unbelievable blessing. I have made several great friends and I consider them to be my 2nd family. I urge all singles to give this group a chance.
I recently rediscovered my love for kids. My newest passion is volunteering for Big Brothers and Big Sisters. I have a new "little brother". His name is Logan and he's 8 years old. It's a pleasure mentoring and spending time with him. God has truly blessed me!
I guess thats all for now. Take care and God Bless!
| | Interests I'm a big fan of the Steelers, Pirates, and Penguins (I have black and gold blood). I love mixed martial arts fighting. I am a brazilian jiu jitsu blue belt. | | Movies | MusicI made the decision in the last year to give up secular music. I gave away all of my cds (over 200) and only listen to Christian music now. I'm not trying to be judgmental toward people who listen to secular music, it was just the right choice for me. | | Books | | Television Lost, Big Bang Theory, My Name is Earl, Psych, Saving Grace, Dexter (my guilty pleasure) |

hey there, i saw that your were a big brother with bbbs, and i just wanted to tell u that i was a little from the time i was 6 until i was 15 and my big was the biggest influnce over me, she was amazing and treated me like family, so when it gets hard and u are wondering if you are doing the right thing, know from me that you are, and even just spending time with him is going to make a huge diff. also i went to church with her all the time, and i know that if it wasnt for her and her family i would not be in church now, so if u can, make sure hes in church! thanx so much for giving your time! he will be a better person because of you!
