- A short bio about yourself.
I am married to the amazing Cathel Gaidin and am lucky enough to be fairly happy in my life. I am surrounded by people I love and who love me and wouldn't want to change much. I hate doing these type of bio things, because I am a terrible writer, so I'll say: if you want to know more about me, PM me. :D
