My real name is Josh,
I am 25yrs old, I am married to my awesome wife Stephanie, and I have two beautiful kids. 4yrold girl, and 2yr old boy.
I grew up in my home town Greenville Va, and still reside there today.
I am into everything, and have many hobbies.
To give you a better idea of myself, believe it or not, here it is>
[glow=red,2,300]~The short run through of my life~[/glow]
I have a vast modeling intrest, with model railroads, to radio control model, AKA "R/C", with everything from cars, planes, boats, helicopters, to robotics.
I started that hobby when I was 6yrs old, and havent stopped yet! I even managed a local hobby shop for a while, installing and teching an intire R/C line up of items.
When I was 11, I started getting into horses as my Grandad bought a farm. I then graduated to showing, where I competed in national class events by 13. After that, I began to apprentice under a pro horseman of how to train, and was often called by local trainers to do the dirty work of beaking young horses in before they began.
I am still called to do that to this day.
Once I hit 17, I was hungry to expand my horizons a little more.
I felt the need to fill my life long facination of avitation with a pilot's licience, by becoming an apprentice A&P aircraft mechanic.
I traded hours on the job for hours in the cockpit.
I succeded in SOLOing my first, full scale plane, at 17.
And as far as I know, I still proudly hold the shortest amount of hours recorded for a solo at my local airport @ 11.5hrs.
At 18 I was still beaking horses, and decided to go "all out" with my cowboy career. So what is the next best thing to a bucking horse you ask?
A Bucking BULL ofcourse!
I traveled 6 years on the rodeo scene with most of them spent with my best friend, Jason Redifer.
Best times of my life, I will never forget as long as I live!
After a while doing that, Jason and I decided we would join up with the Marines, and fight for our Country.
Unfortunate for our duo at the time, I had to turn out since I had a kid on the way. And a soon to be Wife.
I felt bad about not going, and ask my friend to reconsider his joining up. But Jason was a proud person, and simply wouldnt back out. He felt he had a duty to complete, and that was that!
Unfortunatly later on at 19, Jason was on his last mission in Iraq January 31, of 2005, with 9 days left to return, and was fataly attacked by a road side trigger man, with an I.E.D.
I never was to see my best friend again.
He was more like a Brother to me, and I lost sight of things for a good while, and eventually gave up rodeo in spite of it not being the same.
Funny how you can take the most important things for granted until they are gone.
Anyhow I finaly came around to living again, and found yet another hobby that I find great intrest in.
You guessed it! Paintball.
Like anything that I do, I try to take it to the max, and learn everything that I can possibly learn about it, then fabricate my own ideas, and ways of doing things into the mix.
This is how I became a modder, and custom gun builder.
My Cousin, "Black Night", friend "Reptile", and myself "WarCowboy", decided that we wanted to create a team like no other, and have an extrordanary cache of weapons to boot!
Upon deiciding what we should name our team, I had taken my cowboy hat off, and rested it in my lap.
At that moment, my hat fell off my lap, and flipped across the floor tossing a card I had kept in my hat for a rodeo inside-joke.
It was none other than the King of Hearts, the[glow=red,2,300]"Suicide King"!!![/glow]
Well, that about wraps it up, and I hope in someway or another, my story brought some entertainment your way!
Life is a trip, and I'll be the first to tell you!
If you read all of this, I appreciate your dedication!
Your my kinda person! Haha.
