Brad's Story
Life
I'm living in Phoenix Arizona, I've been here since I moved from Oklahoma city in 1985.I'm currently single and enjoying it. I keep busy with work and going out with friends, I have no regrets in my life, if I want to do something I just go out and do it.I have a wonderful 18 year old daughter who now has entered college and likes to keep me on my toes. I get back to McAlester about once a year to visit my parents who still live there.My simple philosophy is : make the most out of life, we're only here for a short while.I don't always live up to these words but I never give up trying to either.
I love doing outdoor activities and Arizona is the place to be. I enjoy water sports, snow skiing, skydiving, motorcycle riding, going to professional sporting events, playing volleyball, and camping to name just a few things offered in this state.
I also like taking the short drives to San diego, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, or Rocky P...Expand for more
oint Mexico for fun weekend vacations. If I really want to get away I just book a cruise and leave all worries behind.
