More about me

I've led a full life -- not quite nine lives, but almost that many careers. You can see for yourself. But as I got older -- and more jaded about American politics, BTW -- I ran into my parents immortality and my own. My parents are gone now, but aunt is 81-years-old with a smorgasbord of ailments.

She handles them real well, I must say. But the role of Caregiver in varying degrees has made me realize how many people are out there struggling both financially and morally. What to do? How far can we go? Can we manage? Did we do enough?

A 4-month stint consulting at a South Florida DME made a lasting impression, both regarding needs and how they are met or not. How dreary and unfulfilling those stores can be! How many great products are out there that people are not aware of.

So I decided to pool my many experiences -- including work on the Internet -- and launch a website dedicated to cutting edge products, competetive pricing, and first class customer service. Why not? it's never too late, even at the age of 62.

Please see for yourself at www.withoutboundaries.com -- a work in progress. Your input is always welcome!
