Paul's Story
Life:
After graduating from High School, I joined the Marine Corps at the tender age of 17. I spent 12 of the greatest years of my life with some of the greatest people (and some of the worst), all of whom helped mold me, good or bad, into what I am today. The Corps took me to places I probably would have never seen and afforded me the opportunity to do things that I would have never been able to do. ~Semper Fidelis~
After getting out of the Corps I wound up working in law enforcement for 3 years before moving back to Las Vegas where I grew up. I now work as a Security Supervisor at one of Vegas' premier resorts, teach and study Chinese Kempo karate, raise saltwater fish, spend time working with and fixing computers, installing car stereos, and working on my '06 GTO. Although it's something that will never lead me to the aspirations I have, my greatest passion is listening to the blues and playing blues guitar. Especially my '76 Sunburst Strat that my Mom and Dad bought for me brand new.
Regret:
A few years ago I lost my best friend and my rock - my Mother. Even though we butted heads from time to time, she was the one person who shaped my life and made me the person I am today. She always kept me in touch with my heritage, making sure that I never forgot where I or my family came from. When I lost her, it was as if I lost a part of myself. ~Carpe Diem~
Education:

n in and out of institutions of higher learning throughout my life. For all my efforts I received a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administrations with an emphasis in Security Management, as well as Associate's Degrees in Computer Sciences and Military Sciences. I've also studied Marine Sciences at Hawaii Pacific University and Korean Language at both the Defense Language Institute Monterey and the University of Hawaii.
Love:
Been there; done that; got the t-shirt. Still looking but, until that one right woman comes along (you know, the one that gives you butterflies every time you see her and you think about constantly when you can't), I am totally devoted to the one true love of my life...my daughter.
