Hi.  My name is Dave and I am a veteran of the Navy.  I served as a nuclear machinist's mate on the Theodore Roosevelt for four years.  I am currently a field engineer working at power plants across the country.  I found prosper.com through a Firefox extension called "Stumble Upon".  I did some research, joined, and have experimentally bid on several loans and have 400 dollars invested so far.  Now I am taking the next step: borrowing money taking advantage of my good credit rating, and using the money to fund loans for fellow veterans, assuming the increased risk personally. 

Several people that I served with were using food stamps to get by.  Some would get payday loans from usurous lenders to get by to till the end of the month, paying exhorbitant fees.  I would like to participate more in Prosper to help force payday lenders to lower their rates by competition. 

Thanks for viewing my listing.
