Member of the Month of March Lukecreekwalker
WE all have a story about life. Some with humor and some that just strikes a cord. We all on this site work through the internet and hide behind a screen that we can revel as much as we want. Our main thought on this site is to understand the past, just sometimes we have lived the past. Sometimes we discover it, and other times we seek it out. Our next Member of the Month seems to have done all of this at an early age. He is fairly new to the site but has gained the attention of the membership. He asks questions and wants to learn, those are traits that I admire.
Please welcome our next Member of the Month Michael (Lukecreekwalker)
Well my actual name is not Luke. I just chose it because it was a catchy username to me. My name is Michael Pecka, I'm 27, and I was born and raised in West Virginia. My dad met my mom in South Korea while he was in the military and ended up taking her with him when he came back to the states. I was the dark haired different looking kid in small town WV.
I grew up pretty poor and I can remember my Mom having yard sales to buy my older brother and I school clothes and she always did anything she could for us. I was always pretty smart in school and hated math and loved science (which later I realized required math). I've been fascinated with rocks for as long as I can remember and would spend many hours as a child looking through the gravel for fossils. I played basketball and ran cross country in high school until I had to get a job (McDonalds) so I could get a car my senior year. I then went to WVU and graduated with honors and an Accounting degree. Go figure. I still hate math. If I could go back I would get a Geology degree.
My Mom was diagnosed with ovarian cancer my freshmen year at college and passed away during the Christmas break of my senior year She is without a doubt the reason I am who I am today. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about her or try to make her proud.
I work for a Natural Gas company as a Revenue Accountant in Charleston, WV and thats where I met my wife. She is a Land Analyst for the same company. At a work Christmas party she came up and asked me to dance and we got married last April. She lets me go hunting on the weekends so I will keep her around. I am sure we will do the whole house and kid thing in a couple years but I'm not ready yet.
Arrowhead hunting and working out are my only 2 hobbies. That whole work thing gets in my way a lot and I wish I didn't have to go haha. This hobby started out as just some casual interest but has quickly turned into an obsession. I love the challenge of it. I also love the solitude of being in the woods and not hearing or seeing anyone. I love the rush you get when you see that point on the ground waiting on you. I also love being able to share what I find with you guys.
Thank each and every one of you for your comments and photos I love getting on here and reading or learning something new. Always like seeing what others are finding as well. Gets me pumped up to go out there and find something too.
May the points be with you. Lukecreekwalker
Oh my bad he went back to the future.
