Halen. His mother Eugenia was Indonesian.
I was born in Virginia and lived in Maryland most of my life. I was in the Navy for 4 years when I turned 18 years old. I was stationed in Oceania, Virginia Beach between 1979-1984 in squadron 101 working on F-14 fighter jets. I was a aviation electronics technician.
I am self-employed as a professional currency trader (forex). Itâs cool I can do and work whenever I feel like but on the downside it is a lonely business so I would love to meet new people.
I'm very easy going, considered honest and very flexible. In other words I can adapt to the situation. My greatest satisfaction comes from positively impacting one person's life in some way. I am inspired by upbeat attitudes, a sense of what is important in life, genuine laughs, and living each day being the best one can be.
I like to cook but I like eating even better. I try to stay on the healthy side of the menu but what tastes the best is not always the best for you so itâs a balancing act so to speak.,".
