Interests:- My Wife Michelle Renee Odom! We were married April 5,

- Brewing Beer - My friends and I started making our own beer.
- UFC - I love watching MMA competitions in general but UFC is where it's at.
- Amateur Astronomy - I own a telescope thats collecting dust at this moment.
When I took an astronomy class at LSU I took a great deal of interest in it. As
a result I've enjoyed looking towards the stars and learning about how the
universe works.
- Old Cars - I have a thing for 68-70 model vehicles particularly old Mustangs
and Pontiacs. I've been rebuilding an old Mustang for years but its come and go
being that I'm still so busy with my career. As of 2008 I have the suspension
back under the car and it's back on wheels for the first time since 1998. Should
be driving by 2020 at this rate.
- Fitness - Lately I only exercise 2-3 times a week but when I get back into
my groove its usually 5 days a week. I do alot of MMA training as a way to stay
in shape. I earned my black belt in Tang Soo Do martial arts and participated in
the Judo team at USL for 2 years. For a while in 2005 I took the time to teach
martial arts at my instructors school.
- Education - I like to learn new things about science, philosophy, the arts
and the world in general. I read alot of biographies on famous people who seem
worth emulating. Some of my favorites are the Marquis De Lafayette, Ben Franklin
and Alexander Hamilton. I also enjoy trying to stay up on the latest in the
computer world.
- Poker - Like many other people out there I jumped on the band wagon of
playing poker. I go up to the Argosy casino and play in alot of small games for
fun.
- LSU sports - You can't graduate from LSU without becoming a Tiger fan. I
love to cheer for LSU's sport teams.
