My dad left the army shortly thereafter and joined the Air Force as an officer. I grew up an Air Force brat and have lived in Alabama, Ohio, Philippines (twice), Georgia, Florida, California, Alaska, Nebraska and Iowa.I was in the Air Force myself from 1993 to 2000. I did computer repair/computer security/networking/training/communications security. Teaching is my art and I'm quiet good at it (if I do say so myself). I work for Kutak Rock, LLP (law firm) in Omaha as a trainer and I love my job.I got married when I was 21, she was 19, and we've been together since (we celebrate our 10th anniversary next year). We got married for stupid reasons; I was being transferred and we "couldn't bear to be apart."  :\ And to add to that, our honeymoon consisted of a week long car ride from Seattle, WA, to Redding, CA, to San Francisco to Yellowstone to Disneyland to the Grand Canyon to Las Vegas to Omaha. Not recommended for young kids who just got married.But we've helped each other a lot over the years and have one of the strongest relationships I have ever seen. We communicate with each other a lot, which is key, and love each other deeply. We have a 3 year old son, Duncan Scott Law. He's my pride and joy and is becoming a lot like me (the poor thing <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />). You can see him here: <a href="http://www.tonylaw.org" target="_blank">http://www.tonylaw.org</a>I've been playing RPGs since 1990. Not regularly, but off and on until 1997, when I started to play almost weekly. I now DM and I love it (it's a lot like being a teacher).I'm the guy who's really quiet and shy but if I'm with a small group of people I usually get everyone laughing. Large groups make me uncomfortable, so I usually gravitate to select friends in a social situation. I am very smart but need to be kicked in the ass every now and then to get my butt in gear. A lot of things come naturally to me but that can make me lazy as I have come to expect things to continue that way and I know they won't always. It's something I've had to work on my entire life and I still struggle with it.I'm pretty creative and can think quickly on my feet, which helps in DMing or just playing with my son.I am a Buddhist who is constantly striving to find peace. I am open and honest (sometimes brutally) and I try to listen to those who wish to talk to me, which makes people open up to me, sometimes more than I would like. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />I'm a nice guy because I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and, gosh darn it, people like me!Oh and I have 8 tattoos that are an important part of me. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
