More about me

I love being alive so far being alive has proven to be the most interesting thing I have done.

My life has been full, I am currently VP of a manufacturing company, but my life wasn't always so mudane. I have been a logger, a gold miner, a white water raft guide, owned a jewerly store, also did a couple Old Spice commercials but the best job was being a single parent.

Lots of intesting things, I lived right on the beach at Sea Cliff, Ca. and also on the beach at Silver Strand, Ca. My son and I moved to a log cabin in the Trinity Mountains of Northern California. My son Shane when to a one room school and panned gold to trade for apple pie. What a life for a growing boy.

I am still employed and have intentions of working into my late sixties if health permits and I still enjoy my job.

I have five children, none at home, all spread about the country, all doing well with wonderful families.

I was proud to serve my country during the sixties as a Marine Foreward Observer (I spent a couple of years in Naval Hospitals healing from injuries) I partied thru the seveties, well I pretty much partied the eighties as well I think, but I can't remember.

I lost my beautiful son Shane to automoble accident and the dark days set in for me .......I traveled around Mexico for a year running from pain and guilt, Forrest ran, I lived on buses. I traveled with a missionary for while and finally came home. I smile and laugh, but will always miss my son, it will forever be a scar on my heart.

My life is good now, I have good things in my life, good friends (Damn I have lost so many friends lately) and just am so very, very happy I got be alive and enjoy this earth and it's people. I am still chasing some tired old dreams, loving to smile and meet new people.
