I have been in the tropical fish hobby since 1994 and though I am currently on a forced break from the hobby, still maintain many of my club memberships and keep track of it through online forums and such.

I have grown violets off and on for the past 6 years with varying degrees of success and greatly enjoy it. I'd really like to expand my hobby as currently I only have 4 varieties and, being as I have a good grasp on genetics as a whole, have been contemplating hybridizing.

I am also very interested in Arabian horses and American Pit Bull and American Staffordshire Terriers. Though I own neither at the moment, I have had pits and amstaffs in the past and worked with horses throughout my childhood. I keep track of and study the history, bloodlines, conformation, genetics and any other information I can get on them. Hopefully by the end of the 2011 summer I will  be training at a stable in Dubai, UAE. Which is owned and ran by a friend of mine over there.

Currently dont have one. The economy sucks.
