I am a 47 year old single man, in good physical condition, with no family or friends in the area. I am originally from NJ with an Italian family heritage. (yes, I make great sauce) I graduated High School, I never attended college but I've worked and supported myself since the age of 14. I have done every job imaginable in my long career. From dishwasher to computer network engineer. From garbageman to executive manager. From laborer to entrepreneur. I have mechanical and constructional aptitudes, have driven tractor-trailers and been a certified welder. And, although it was a long time ago, I participated in survival training while in the Army attached to the 82nd Airborne Div. I "woke-up" in 2009 and my desire to help others less fortunate took me on a journey to Peru. While in the jungle there helping cure Malaria and Dengue Fever etc. I was robbed and left stranded. I managed to survive for 4.5 years without money, or help of any kind. And just before returning to the US this past September, I had my own 50 acre farm with 350 banana trees. I admire and can relate well with those who are trying to prepare for this catastrophe we will face. I know the Amazon Jungle is a far cry from the Ozarks, and I don't claim to be a mountain man, although I grew up and lived for some time in the Appalachian Mountains of NJ. I am a team player, corroborator, or if need be a stand alone operator. I'm fairly intelligent, intuitive, with a lot of common sense. I have old fashioned morals and respect, and characterize myself as a gentleman. I have no addictions, vices or prejudices, and my word and handshake are better than my signature. I am loyal and trustworthy, sometimes to a fault. But I'm learning. I have no money to invest, but I do have some supplies, equipment, firearms and ammo that I am willing to share with the group. I poses no particular skill-set which would entitle me to be called an expert in any field, yet I do feel that I offer many things that will be needed by a group of this type, for the purpose of survival.
