Filing Flight Plan
Howdy amigos. I'm just getting into flying and thought I'd join the forum to have something to do at work. 
Former Coast Guard officer here and I currently work as a Supervising Investigator for an insurance company. My wife and I had our first child, a son, about six months ago and he's pretty dang awesome. I have ridden/raced motorcycles for over ten years during and after College having some pretty cool adventures all over CA, Baja, NV, Pacific Northwest, etc. I always wanted to get my PPL but never had funds/time with motorcycling and establishing my career. Flying was always in my family growing up though. My Grandmother's brother flew Hellcats in the Pacific and my Dad was a commercial balloon pilot for many years. My Uncle also was an active private pilot for a long time.
Not to bore you too much longer, I sold my bikes before the kiddo arrived. We made some good money on our first house and bought a nicer one and now having some great flexibility at work and some good money set aside for flying I'm pursuing my dream.
I have an embarrassingly short logbook with four hours in a Challenger II and a few more in a C-172. I'm absolutely loving it! I'm excited to get some time in a SportStar in a couple weeks and get some more ground school under my belt with the rain settling in. Now that the holidays are over I'm going to try and average 2-3 hours of flying a week to keep things moving. My wife is very supportive (as much as wives can be) and I dream of owning a nice small family flyer in the next couple years.
Cheers!
