I have always written for my own enjoyment, starting with poetry and essays. Some limited success, and a supportive family,
encouraged me to stay with it, although writing time was limited by work and family responsibilities. Before working in the
family business, I served in the Navy, and am a Vietnam combat veteran. I spent 17 years as a volunteer medic with an ambulance
company, 10 years doing professional photography, and worked as a computer technician, all part time while I helped my wife
raise 3 children. Currently, I live in southwest Missouri with my wife of over 40 years. My three children and 11 grandchildren
are close by. I am currently working for a leading horticulture supply company in sales and tech support. Nearly as strong
as my belief in God, is the adage that the only thing constant in the world is change, and that luck is a fickle mistress
indeed. It has been an interesting trip.
