I, as you've probably guessed by now, am Fred. I'm a dork.

I work for the LPGA as a network engineer - which basically means I'm responsible for fixing and/or maintaining anything that runs on electricity...and I'm only saying that half jokingly. It's a lot of work, but all in all it's a good job. I get to travel with the tour and see places I never would've thought to visit.

I live in Port Orange with my wife Amanda. We're in the process of building our first home together at 193 Boysenberry Lane. We have lots of kids: Gizmo (Miniature Schnauzer), Sara (Dobermann), Scuz, "B", Gordon, and Rex (all domestic medium hair tabbys), and Kramer (bunny). Both of our immediate families live nearby in the Volusia county area.

In my free time, I enjoy watching movies, reading, writing and swimming. I also like camping, fishing and hunting. If I'm not doing any of those activities, you're most likely to find me "people watching" at Robbie O'Connells.

I tend to have conservative political views, and at times, have a bit of a "survivalist" streak. If you asked me for a conversation starter I'd probably tell you the world would be a better place with more guns and less lawyers.
