Howdy everyone,

My name is Shawn and I'm new to the place. I love being social and I love forums, so this was a great choice for me!

A bit about me: I'm 40, a male, and I live in Southern Illinois, USA. I'm married, got step kids, and cats.

I love the outdoors! Hiking, camping, cycling, caving, kayaking -- you name it! I'm outside every chance I get.

I also love blogging, forums, and socializing with others online.

I work in investigations and have a graduate degree concentrating in counterintelligence and anti-terrorism.

That sums me up! I look forward to chatting with you all! :)
