- | This is me, Eric McWilliams (aka nugget) | ||
- | |||
- | Hello and thanks for stopping by! | ||
- | |||
- | First things first: my name is Eric McWilliams, but I usually go by my nickname: nugget. I was born in 1974 in Alabama, where I spent all of my childhood until I was 10ish, moved to Ohio, then made my way to California about 12/13ish for my high school years and the early 90s. In 1992 I joined the Marines and learned field radio communications and had a knack for communications that has taken me far in life. I was stationed in Kaneohe Bay Hawaii and deployed around the world from there. I have a daughter that I love to death that keeps me busy needing rides to her different activities. | ||
